    **** PAGE 3 FOR NEW ADDED RES'S :) ******



    I've been making my own "side mounted tanks" for a while now, sorta become a signature on my mods along with watercooling.

    Ive also done a few for mates in the same manor, smaller larger boxed etc

    and while thyr fucntional cheep and easy to make! thyr starting to look a bit aged and boring.

    So i came up with this idea to tru and breath some new life into these tanks! away to add your own signature logo or idea!

    Adding a colored plex insert to the res can make a new feature, i used a very simple design for this, but better designs can be used, etching could be done and or sponsor logo's could be used,even diff color plex to suit your mod.

    As i said this is a very simple design but you guys get the idea

    if you took your plexi to a jigsaw and did a tribal type cut and slipped that it it would look sweet! also wiring UV leds into the base would look cool :rock:

    Very cool idea. Not sure if you've mentioned it before, but where do you get the plexi cylinders (and if not in the US, anyone know of some US stores that would have them)?

    I think I just got a cool idea provided I can get a drill press :D

    And I've gotta say, nice picture-taking work. Really pro looking, especially the one where you're holding it up and the one just above it.

    Tis rather cool. It looks a bit plain, though..I dunno, the green plexi looks somewhat out of place. I can't put my finger on it. You certainly have skills though.

    the idea is you can design your own ideas to spice it up, the possabiltys are endless, red green blue purple orange, etched dragons or chars, sponsor logos etc,

    The idea is just to add spice an old feature we use all in our pcs,

    heres some UV fun
