Hey everyone. Long time planning and finally got in my aluminium from the laser cutters.

This is going to be massive. Way bigger than I thought it would be. Will be bending it monday hopefully.
Thanks for watching.

Welcome to TBCS!

Those look like interesting shapes to be bending...:)

[Motas]

Thanks. I've actually been a member for a while but forgot about it. It makes a box when all folded up.

That's a heck of a way to make a box.:D

[Motas]

Lol you'll see why it's like that soon.

[Motas]

Hey again. I have taken the rads and a fan to the machinist and he is designing the triangle at the bottom with rads and pump in it. That shouldnt take too long. If anyone is good with autocad and computer parts please pm me. I am willing to give you some cash for it but I am very tight on money atm.
Thanks for watching.
I cant bend it up till its cut with the cads.

Hey everyone. This log is now sponsered by CoreComputers.

There is a link in my signature to there ebay store. The story behind me finding out about them is when I first built my computer and 5870 were sold out everywhere. I needed a gpu so got on ebay and ordered it from them. They were helpful and even asked to see a picture of my first build to see how it went. Anyway the owner is off the forums. In other news the sheet metal place has agreed to build the rad holder and I have done a cardboard mock up of it to explain it. Sorry for not having pics but did it at work and didnt have a camera. I think my design is good. I couldnt even get the radiator out of the cardboard so metal should hold it great. I am going back tommorow to give him the cardboard and see what he reckons and that ill (hopefully) be done at least next week. That also means my computer will be back up.
Thanks for watching.

[Locum51]

I'll definitely be watching. I can see how it'll turn into a box if I imagine all the bends. :D

[Motas]

Thanks. Can't wait to bend it up but need to do cads first an to do that I need to measure my caase which has my pc in it. How annoying. To make a case to put my parts in I need to move my parts into the case that isn't built yet.

Hey everyone. Sorry for lack of updates been lazy. Finally got the cads done for most of it and will get it cut hopefully tuesday or wednesday. Also decided on a black and white theme. Anyoen know how to make a white dye? Been told its not possible but you never know. Also does anyone know how to make two dyes not mix together other than oil? Same guy has been experimenting but oil doesnt like pumps.
Thanks for watching.

Red, green, blue light mixed = white = additive mixing

Red, green, blue dye mixed = black = subtractive mixing

Technically white dye would be completely clear, as it has no effect on its environment, so you cannot mix up white dye from other dyes.

You might be able to suspend something like a white food coloring in water, but it would likely be hard on your pump and will probably separate after a period of time.

To get them to not mix, simply don't let them mix. Keep them physically separated. If you can't, you'd have to use non-miscible liquids of different densities, and that will be pretty hard to do successfully.

[Motas]

Nano fluids are white though and black I'd easy yay. Is there a way tomkeep
two nano fluids seperate with one dyed? I realize I need something like oil and water but what could I use that won't hurt the pump?
Thanks.

Since actual nanofluids only exist in laboratories, I'm assuming you're referring to this product (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8617/ex-liq-151/Fluid_XP_Nano-Fluid_Liquid_Cooling_Fluid_32_oz_-_Ghost_White.html?tl=g30c337s888). It's highly improbable that you can keep two colors of the same product from mixing.

You haven't specifically said this was in a water-cooling loop, so I'm only assuming it. If the mixture is in a reservoir or something you can mix water and oil as long as the water level is high enough to keep the oil from ever entering the flow. Mineral oil will work. It's clear and believed to be mostly non-toxic. Water-soluble dye cannot mix with it at all...I know this from personal experience. If you want the water to be clear and the oil to be dyed, there are oil-soluble dyes that will work for this purpose.

[Motas]

Yes I want it in the loop but I want both black and white going through without mixing. Someoneos trying to figure out how to do it anyway so in might just have a white loop and a black loop.
Thanks.
Also res should be here tommorow or the next day.

For just white or black, talk to Kayin. He's got some pretty sweet coolant that he's working on. Last I checked he hadn't gotten the white quite worked out unless you can keep your loop completely dark..which kinda defeats the purpose of it being white in the first place, but hey, what's progress without problems. ;) ...you won't be able to have any plexi in your loop though; apparently it eats through it. And mDust, it is a nanofluid. Most of the time something like that 'only exists in the laboratory' is because nobody is willing to put forth the effort and money to produce it in larger quantities....which Kayin is doing (not huge quantities, but he's already sent sample batches to a few people on the forum for testing, I think).

Fixed. ;)

Quality is huge.

[Luke122]

Your best bet might be to use black fittings and white tubing. Coolant color wont matter then.. and if you use black and white hardware through the whole loop, it'll look great anyways.

Whoops, thanks, fixed.

WHAT!?! But if he does that then that will make what I said 'wrong'... I'm sorry, but I can't let that happen...again.

EDIT: Hmmm...I even commented twice in that linked thread...you'd think I'd have some recollection of this, but no!

[Motas]

Yer nano fluid which is white is already for sale and mayhem dyes work in it fine. That means I can have a white loop and a black loop. People have also been working on having two colours in the same loop without them mixing but it breaks the pump. Get my computer back Friday but going away for a week
so no updates. After that I'll probably organise everything and i'm
on holidays soon. That means two weeks with nothing better to
do.

How are they going about it? Do you happen to have a link to it?

Also, I thought there was a difference between nanofluids and colloids, but there isn't...apparently I've been using a nanofluid in my loop for a very long time in the form of Hot Tub Silver. I guess nanofluids haven't been confined to laboratories at all.

[Motas]

They have been mixing dye with oil. They don't post it anywhere so no. I didn't really get into details but the oil broke the pump after a while.

I will mod the reservoir next week but away until then. Will have 2 weeks holidays so will hopefully get it cnc and ready for bending.
I am thinking of making the box a bit smaller it just seems way to massive. The problem is that the triangle cant be any smaller so it might look out of proportion.
