Project: Water Cooling Turbine

[Scotty]

Damn fine job mate.

[SgtM]

I showed this to one of the guys I work with... he was so impressed he was speechless. Excellent work!

[rendermandan]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Like I said, there is still a little bit to do. I have 1 more led to add, and install the tubing and wiring. My shipment witht he ATI Waterblock and wire sleeving should be comming Tuesday. So I will have to wait untill then.

Thanks again for everyone's support!!!!

:eek: Well i dont know what to say, other then i'm not worthy, some awesome kitbashing going on thats for sure. Looks sweeeeeeeeet. :up:

[rendermandan]

OK, last night I got some wiring done.

Here are some shots.

I installed everyting into the back housing and cut the wires to clean things up.

Then I soldered and heat shrinked them together.

Everything goes to 2 molex connectors. One for the fans, (12v) and one for the leds and glow wire. (5V) -I didn't use the same plug because I want to be able to remove the radiator and fan assembly without having to cut any wires.

And now the obligitory night shots with all the lights on. -Note, I still don't have the led for the resevoir installed as I"m waiting on my sleeving.

And here it is with the lights on, but still running.

My hope is that when the tubing is filled with blue liquid, that the led in the resevoir will light it up. right now I just cut a piece of tubing to show you what it will look like. That is all I can do untill my sleeving comes tomorrow. :( By the way, have I ever mentioned I HATE FEDEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Later!

[Bucko]

Wow!
That really looks good now it's all done and complete.
I can't wait to see the case this will go on.

[OrsoDesigns]

That is astonishing! If I could do work like that I would never leave my workshop. :up:

[SgtM]

I don't know what to say other than WOW! If I could rep you more than once at the same time, I would.

Excellent work, can't wait to see the case!

[Spawn-Inc]

dude, that is so freaking awesome !! i haven't checked up on it for a while but wow so sick! +rep

[Scotty]

Awesome. Fact.

[rebelliont56]

ive been following this one since the start..and dude.....this mod just makes me happy....damn happy...cuz its just so amazing....cant wait for the case

[Remy]

Excellent work brother. This build turned out extremely nice. I only hope that my mod will turn out as nice. Look forward to seeing how your case turns out.

+rep

[rendermandan]

No need for an apology, Minty, I'm just glad you liked it.

I'm currently working on the case design. I'm trying to integrate some motorization into it. so I'm doing some research for servo controllers. the one I'm looking at controlls 18 servos so if that gives you any clue as to what I'm going to do... Once I get the design 90% done, I'll start a new worklog. I'm not sure what to call it though. I was thinking about "Project: Motorized Madness" But that doesn't fit the Old Industrial theme. So like I said, I"m stuck.

[Remy]

Renderman. I will be using servos in my mod as well. Doing some research myself but the information seems a bit scarce; especially for something as everyday as the servo. If your wouldn't mind sharing with me what you find, I'd real REALLY appreciate it. Anything you can share, parts, code, tutorials or links, anything would be excellent.

Thanks Renderman.

Again, great job on the turbine!!

[jdbnsn]

It's just too damned bad you did this before the TGS contest, this thing would have killed.

[rendermandan]

Yeah, I kind of realized that too. Oh well, I have an idea for a window mod that is going to knock your guys socks off!!! -Ok, maybe not actually, but it might just inpress you.

I've ordered the case, a new SATA DVD burner with Lightscribe, a 240 Danger Den Black Ice Extreme II radiator (For the video Card). A Danger Den Water block for my ATI 1900 XTX.

I won't be able to start the new case untill after next week, I found out today that I'm going out of town to San Jose CA, Next tuesday till Saturday. So I won't get much done untill that weekend.

[Commando]

Absolutely amazing. I'm speechless. Uber +Rep

[Omega]

It's actually a good thing he's not entering the res in this competition, that means other people will actually have a chance... ;)

[BigJohnson]

WOW! I only just noticed this looking for something to read at work. This is the most impressed Ive been in a while. It makes me want to wc my mod. But Im still stuck on the water -> electricty thing.
+rep for sure!

[jdbnsn]

Woohoo! You've been cast!

[Crimson Sky]

Absofookintootly Damfastic!!! wow...very excellent work. I'm very impressed.

[rendermandan]

OH, KICK ASS. I love the Mod Cast! Thanks you guys for choosing me as one of the first to display. It just goes to show that the things we build around here do get noticed.
Thanks again!

[The boy 4rm oz]

The Black Ice GTX Radiators are great, I got my 120mm during the week and can't be happier. It's no where near as big as it seems in the pictures, but it's still big though.

[Tempest|2k7]

i saw this...looked at all 29 pages...looked at my computer...then cried.
f***ing amazing bro.
++++ rep.
