    Yeah, as long as the impeller's not rubbing it should be fine. I'm assuming it straightens out while running, correct?

    Awesome top, Cheaps. Again! :thumb:

    Thanks.:D
    @EEL - It sits normal when it's stopped, but tilts like that when it spins up. It's lifting up off the bearing and there's no signs of rubbing in the casing. I guess I'm just paranoid.

    I figured out something earlier: 60 mm fans make great pump top templates.
    They have the same hole patterns.

    I believe Cheaps is referring to inaccurate measurements given at one time. :)

    I'm referring to: some kind person here once gave me a full set of measurements that worked great, but...
    Oh hell. Go read AngelOD's build log.:worried: I'm just paranoid.

    Come on - the dude may not measure with the best but he can sit in a tattoo chair for 4 1/2 hrs. :jawdrop:

    Gotta love the Angel

    LOL. Good point, although having sat in that chair before too for a couple hours, after the first hour, you don't really feel it anymore. :hehe:

    But back on-topic.... poor Angel!

    Wait- Were they inaccurate? They worked fine for me.
    Feel free to post measurements you feel are better. I might use them.:naughty:

    This is amazing Cheaps! I bow in the dust! :jawdrop:

    To get on the other topic, I think (hope) it's a misunderstanding.

    E.E.L. Ambiense <-- I think he somehow was referring to that he didn't want to tell who measured it... For some reason... :)

    I hope this is the reason for the mishap, if not, I'm just glad they worked out for you Cheaps! :thumb:
