very nicely done with the brushed effect and the whole build. what was the aul like once you'd used the 600grit? i managed to get some400 and 600 today but nothing finer and the only more course paper i could find was 120 which is too course.
Cool - Let me know if you ever want to part with it, I happily take it off you if you ever wanted to sell it
great job.... I want one. Can you show me the tubing connection to your cpu? where will u let it pass?
all will be revealed soon, i dont actually have a watercooled system yet as the radbox aint finished 100%. phat ass - the alu looked matt after a good helping of 600 grit, metallic turtle wax brought out the grain by combining with some of the left over metal dust. stuff on the todo list are: - inside electronics for the fan controller - etch/piccy on the front with a name or something - feet for the box - riveting part of it, as screwing it together with m3 bolts is annoying and takes a while - maybe a 80mm blowhole in the top of it, not sure how effective those vent holes will be - maybe some form of res for it inside out of plexi, again not sure about this yet. and thats about it, then all i have to do is get it all inside the system and power her up
finally another update the construction is now done, bar the glueing in place of a molex connector for the power to the lcd/fan. and the obligatory ass shot i wanted to hide the 4 long pieces of alu corner inside the box itself, but my drilled panel holes were too close to the edge and the screws would have stuck out. something to note for revision 2
Shibby sweet dude! Shame you couldn't get the L brackets inside of the case then it'd be even cleaner... onwards RadBox2
some photoshop, transparent film and scissors shame u can see the edges of the film, may reprint it and cut it so it fills the whole panel actually
Wasn't expecting it to turn out cool actually, but now I need a second opinion It's getting pretty cool !
needs little 'In' and 'out' labels, the same as the 'watercool' on the front, for the barbs, that'd look sweet
well this has been on hold due to my lazyness but i started doing some work to it on the weekend by putting together an electrobus, following one of the bit-tech articles after two days of soldering and planning, it was ready to be tested. but it refused to work :| even though i took great care of it, im pretty sure its the transistor that gave up. so now onto plan b, something that i should have done to start with, ive ordered some bits for a single channel rheobus.
finally an update box construction is finished. did all the wiring and the fan controller on the weekend and put all the piping inside today. as you can see, its a really tight fit. got it hooked up to an old psu atm, just to test that electrobus. all that is left now is to hook it up to my pc and start adding water and leak testing it. not sure if i will do it this week, might leave it till ch*****as holidays when im back from uni for 3-4 weeks. dont really want to rush it and bugger it up. well heres its insides: what do u lot think, especially the watercoolers out there /edit another outside shot
