Designing a Cube case

[markkleb]

well Mraopc my thought is if there is room the bigger rad is best. A dual may work but a triple adds extra cooling.

As to the res my thought is anything that adds splashing or any chance to whip air into the fluid is bad, so I try to stay as far away from them as possible.

 

[mrapoc]

ok so well go for the room for triple rad and primarily not designed for a res

A res can be positioned almost anywhere.

I was aiming for an outside res.. but I am sure I can figure a way to do that.

 

[nunzio]

Never thought of outside the case.. Sweet idea.

 

[markkleb]

well I keep saying you dont need one and you guys keep figuring ways to add one

Il figure a way to put one in the case, remember it should be at the highest point in the loop.

i only used 1 b4 as kemp included it

cant really be arsed with one tho if its extra work and money =/

The extra work is no prob for you 3 guys. Extra money is also un needed, to me the only issue is if it is a benefit to the case/comp.

If it is just added stuff than its silly but if it does serve a purpose I am happy to include/make one.

Check with other H20 Gurus and see if they say there is a benefit to the res.

I've got mixed feedback about useing a t-line or a res.

TBH, I don't mind either way.

I am really busy building the 3 cases for Nvision, but I will take a look in the next couple days how I would use a res for the comp.

Have you seen the ones from Koolance?

http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=651

they look like a much improved DD version with more hose options.

I love that res mark!

Do we have an ETA on the cases? I am not being impatient just asking when we are to expect them.

Cheers.

 

[markkleb]

you can be as impatient as you want...but I wont be able to do these cases till I finish my Nvision ones.

The res from Koolance comes in 3 sizes, I like the metal thread inserts for the barbs.

 

[mrapoc]

thats a damn sweet res mark!

cant wait to cart this off to uni lol might need to bolt it down tho

 

[markkleb]

I thought I would check in and say hello.. So hello:wavey:

I just looked at the calender and saw I have 12 days to finish 2 mods, my SFF case and my new fan design.

I was going after a cube but remembered at the last 2 contests what a pain it was to dis assemble the case to show the inside and thought if I made it into a mini tower I could put 2 clear sides and I wouldnt have to un assemble it, people could see both sides.

Here is what I have so far, its on the left. The case on the right is one of the 2 I am modding for Intregrity-PC

sorry Mrapoc for falling behind. I was in the hospital for several weeks and I am a bit behind. I havent been able to do anything the last month but now I am able to get up and move about a bit more each day.

 

[mrapoc]

oh dear - are you feeling better now?

i hope so

dont worry about it, i dont want to be pushy, just looking forward to it thats all

My first response was to say "Im fine" but honestly it was a life or death kind of thing.

Due to being a large person (polite way to say I am fat) it seems I just got Diabetes and it caused an infection in my upper right leg that turned into gangrene (had it gone a few hours more it would have spread and I would be no longer). They did 3 surgeries to remove it leaving me with a hole the size of a baseball in my leg and a machine that pumps it out 24/7.

Now all is not lost, I get better every day and now I am even able to sit down (for 30 min at a time). I will lower my weight, control my sugar and spend a lot more time moving about.

I will be resuming my work soon (within the week or 2):wavey:
