hehe yeah . the size was more for the cool loo than for performance but due to the shape and size and design it also serves a function . if i dont hook up the water block ( ie testing the res and rad for leaks )the flow from the L30 pump is strong enough that ou can see the water movement which has quite a bit of force behind it. granted once i get the S.S.C. mounted it will increase tube length . also i will add a NB and vid card hydra when they become availible wich will reduce flow. the line down the center of the res has a flat acrylic plate so that the water dont flow in a complete vortex( yes it looks kool but it seriously reduces suction to the pump)
here are the pics before i have gone shopping for NB coolers to put on this . once i have my NB waterblock i might move the cool looking nf7-s rev2 NB hsf to the big chip on this
ok here is part of what i plan to do. there is a bit more to it and it will really depend on how good i feel about cutting this door.. NOTE THIS IS NOT THE WINDOW SIDE
ok now for some other things i am doing. you saw the kanji that i cut and yuo know it will have red acrylic behind it with a neon cathode. welli have to add 2 more mini windows with red acrylic and give them borders using a dragon fan grill so here are some more pics btw ill be cutting out these parts tonight
and for some other pics of stuff i will be using . note i will be sanding down and re doing the usbmounting bracket to be much better looking i will also do a lot of other small things this week here is one ofthe 2 rear exhaust fan assemblies
this is a 3 speed switch that comes with a lian li case . notice i ground out a small section tha i will glue a UV led to and power off one ofth 2 fan headers that will controll the 2x 5cm fans i will have cooling the hard drives . these heatsinks will be mounted on the router . the bolts here are for my silver cascade mounting but since i dont like wing nuts i got something that will look a little better ( wing nuts are easyer to gauge how many turns though )
i wont be making them for sale because it costs way to much. i have enough materials that i only need to buy 2 parts costing about 35 dollars and i can make a smaller version for 1 person but it will still be very expencive and most of the cost would be shipping. much better to just skip the shipping and make one your self really
Wow If thats the non windowed side (the side usually forgotten about) man I cant wait to see the rest. Looks awesome! Are the pink thumb screws permenant? Its a different way to do it I guess.
this is not true. you drop cpu temps by about 1 - 1.5c with good air flow as seen by spectralthermagraph ( yes its nice to work at the technical research center ) the thing is that you wont notice any real results untill the hotter stages of activity and it takes a while for the pcb around the area and under the socket to get to temp to where it starts disipating at a measureable temp so unless you are folding for very long times yu will probly not see any improvement . they are actualy anodized red aluminum thumb screws for lian li cases. the large kanji acrylic sheet is held on by hex bolts that are black. i designed the system to use as many of the lian li size threads as possible
