Oh my gosh... another WaveMaster by Coolmiester. What else to do than subscribe? Like those WaveMasters by the way. (owning a Soprano myself ) Oh, and send me the Hardware you'll be fitting in there. Love to have the Dual + SLI board. :~subscribed.
Cheers for the positive replies even though this is probably the third or forth time i've put you lot through this. Anyway.......quick update. I've already done a run through on how to mod a Laing DDC Pump to 1/2" but this one is a bit different so will add it to the log anyway The pictures speak for themselves really but i'll do a running commentary best i can between pics (and there's quite a lot of them so be warned) Started off by demmeling out the centre section but this time once the hole was drilled used a 9/16" UNF tap so the Danger Den Hi-Flow barb screwed in like so! Then filled it up with 2 part Araldite and left it to go hard..the glue that is I also cut the thread from another DD barb and glued that on the out-let as well Now for the fun part. Filled the top of the pump with 2 part body filler... ....just like icing a cake Then sanded it down with ruff sand paper and filled the low spots with more filler. Filled and sanded a couple of times then moved on to smother wet n dry paper till all the imperfections were gone Masked the barbs off then a couple of coats of primer followed by a light sand with 2000 grit wet n dry After the primer, gave it 5 coats of the closest metallic blue paint i could find that matched the rest of the case and also chopped the mounting lugs off the bottom bit of the pump and gave that a few coats of aluminium paint The colour is not an exact match but near as dammit And finally along side a standard Laing DDC Sorry for all the pics
Looking good with the pump, its a shame that you didn't fill the small gap that would have been below the inlet barb. It removes the smooth look, slightly.
Dude... I'm subscribing. I hadn't thought body filler could be used for this. So... /writes down on a memo
Modified pumps looks nice! I'll be watching this. What PSU will you use? two processors want lots of current..
Nice job with it. You should sell that type of pump mod service (or do you?). VERY close color match - I can't tell a difference on the metallic paint.
You ain't serious, are you? You just turned a crappy looking piece of plastic into something you wouldn't recognize...skills... nothing to add.
Cheers for the positive feedback and especially to whoever gave it the 5 *****'s In all honesty i didn't have a clue how this would turn out but knew it had to look a little better than the standard DDC. The PSU that i chose was an Enermax ESP 660W ATX2.0 SLi which i hope should be enough and fits into the Wavemaster......just!
