Not so sure I will tbh. I dont think so cause thats the idea of etching. Here's some pics of the alphacool block cleaned up and the changed internals

not really you can get uv reactive window etches/appliques iirc

looking good btw

Kemp, can you not fit more hard drives in by mounting them the other way round...therefore get better air flow between them?

 

[FarFarAway]

Well what I'm going to do is get an 80mm fan and stick it in the HDD cage

 

[Ham]

The old 'you can never have too many fans' huh?

Add: But dave does have a point. If you mounted them verticaly they would create a convection current, cooling themselves more efficently. its how the passive cooling on my car's amp works.

...Then add the extra fan.

 

[FarFarAway]

Thats the one

Nice work there Kemp. I am thinking about doing something like that on my side window sometime.

orange and white, oc3d colours ftw

I've got blue UV dye. Mebbe I should get white LED's instead seeing as their only like 35p

simple,grab the clear/neutural color screen cover for u display and bosh some green marker on there,i used black marker to black out some windows on one of my micro rc cars(proper rc cars)

works a treat and uber cheapness lol.

cheers.

Decided to get a Storm block for the loop. Before I let the Zern go I did a little more practising of lapping on the block. Looks much better in real life than this pic but tis not bad - 30micron

EDIT: taken on a camera phone

Soz about the lack of updates I've been busy

recieved a load of stuff for the project recently

Amongst them are:

Cardkeeper Card retainer

Swiftech Apogee CPU Block

Loads of 1/2" Elbows

Loads of Jubilee Clips

Cable Braiding Black

Cable Ties white

Matt Black Car Aerosol Spray Paint

UV Green Water Dye

2 x Green LED's

2 x white LED's

1 x 12v LED inverter

Bolts...lots of Bolts

I also spoke to Alphacool. They said that the block I got was a one-off and they are sending me a new block. Should be with me tuesday.

All-in-all pretty decent news!

Monday I should be able to work on the project

sweet bro,glad you decided on the green uv dye

uv green works really well under just uv cathodes or gives a pretty nice effect coupled with a blue cathode,the blue cathode lights up the whole case highlighting the green.

look forward to seing the project progress
