Project: Water Cooling Turbine

no biggie.. the more we wait, the better ;) well, um.. waiting is no problem if the pics show a mod as nice as this :) so, nice going and.. keep going!

Sweeet!! +rep

I told you guys I would not let you down.

Here's a shot with the window installed. it doesn't sit as flat as I'd like it to. this is mainly due to the curved surface. If I had it to do over again, I would have prebent the trim piece before installing it. Oh well, I think it still looks good:

I laid out 3 60 deg lines so I could mark the resevoir brackets:

then I just drilled some holes and cut out the padding on the inside for the head of the screw:

I painted the supports black for now:

here are both supports with the factory mounts cut off:

I then drilled and tapped each support:

And here they are with the supports mounted and ready to go:

Installed on the resevoir:

then I slid it into the tube. Very tight fit. I will have to go back and do a little touchup paint when I'm done:

Then I installed the translucent side panels on the bottom:

I fixed the issue with the tubes that come out of the resevoir. I cut some holes and made it work: :)

Just so you guys can see, the back part is packed full of wiring, 3 transformers, 2 fans and the radiator. I still have more to go!

I'm getting to the point of forcing myself to decide what to do on the back half. I'm still not sure yet....

I don't know what to say other than WOW! +rep

Mate this has turned out awesome, one of the best mods I have seen. +rep for sure.

Awesome indeed! that rad looks so nice inside of the turbine ;) This is ba far my favorite image:

So... more? :)

Congrats renderman! That thing looks really hot! By now I even like the colours :)
Superb work.
Would you give us an image with all lights on?

It looks so good, that res is so nice! I want to see all the lights on though :D

Sweet deal on the turbine! I have the 250mm and 500mm versions of that res in black. I love em'.
