Modding 140mm radiator grill designs, feedback needed please

Theres a growing number of new radiators for 140mm fans now. I'm working closely with Jeremy Birch (aka E.E.L. Ambiense) with some ideas for machined aluminum rad grills.

We really like this design, but we're wondering which 1 of these 3 options do you would like?

This is the first "prototype" of the 2x 140mm Radiator Grill (first ever?)

We're going to make the Triple next week

 

I actually like both A and B, and which one I chose would depend on where I should place it. For a front grill, and mounted vertically, I would choose A, but if it had to go on the side, or somewhere else horizontal. I would choose B.

Therefore lets compromise and choose C


Btw, it is cool you have decided to do them in 140mm, is it possible to get them for two fans and not 3? I would probably need one for my Antec.. Watercooling Cheesecake

 

C!!!!

 

A!!!

 

C!!

Could you make them out of single 140mm fan elements that could be combined to make 2x140 or 3x140 grills? Now the top and the bottom of the grills are thicker than the center gaps.

 

Exactly what I was looking for Javerh

 

I like all three, for C you should flip the middle fans pattern

 

Thank you for the feedback and votes everybody!

Yes, I would definately offer 240 version as well

 

C looks best, though I think something like this would also look nice

Code:

instead of

Code:

I'll try to make a better "drawing" tomorrow

 

I like C

 

There's an optical illusion there that makes the holes on the end of each circle look fat. -Maybe I'm just tired...

 

empire strikes back

my first association was the carbon freeze facility from The Empire strikes back.

the kind of look:

 

I think A would sell better overall.

 

A and B I like

 

Definitely A or B. C with it's angles would make it a bit hard to make stuff match.

 

I said A on facebook, but after seeing these larger res images I really like the look of B.

 

I didn't predict C would be the popular choice

Thank you everybody for voting!

 

Cut the circles out from blanks, machine a step groove in the holes and let everyone turn them till their heart is content. O'yea, and really jack the price way up to fit the truely ticky that would buy it, ROFL.

 

I actually thought about that, nice one

 

You wanted the Diagonal design, so here it is!
