You give a shot really near the idea i have. I intend to put this reservoir on front panel, using the smal ET. I am having trouble finding the plexi tube to replace the original glass case of little ET.
The hole idea is seems like you told.
Thank you, for your suggestion !

Good luck!
I already thoke how do it and this you told is the way i found better, but, i'll do a first hole with a hole saw with his bit, than, use the first hole as a guide to others, withou de bit. When tried do directly, it 'dances' over hard plexi. :p
Thank you for this tip, really nice one.

Thank you, i am doing the best i can. And sometimes, i have to do one piece, 2-3 times 'till get the result i spect. But the great deal is the learning process and friendship you conquest, it's the amazing thing.
Thank you !
This Weekend, i started some things on front panel and did the font case (it's almost finished).
Really hard work sanding (hope win that simbol to hard work :P)
Results as expected, very nice:
Almost there, with motherboard screws to font don't touch plexi directly:
This was how i did the holes, but, i did it another time to get final shape:
Clorofórmio is really very easy to work, not so toxic as i imagine, and fix the plexi easly, fast and stronger, watch:
The back panel of font i told did it twice (final result):
The measurements was perfect, the fun fits very nice, about 3mm over the font components, really nice:
Tomorow i'll finish it.
See you and sorry about delay, i am a modder that become a lawer at free time :D
Thank you !

Thank you armadilloben. The nom medical use i think is this i did, using it to work as a soldering glue. What i really don't know is how toxic this thing really is, but, i bought it in a medical center store and had to fill a form with a lot of data about myself to register the buy.
The seller told me to use a mask becouse it's toxic. So i did it. On clorophomio recipient, also, have the information that the substance inside is toxical if in contact with eyes, skin or ingested, smelled, etecetera... So, i really protected myself because of those informations. Used a gas mask, work glasses and gloves.
I used it without any of the protection i told before (except mask and glasses) and have no problems touching it, nothing happens to my skin. But, it was an excepction.
Take care if you intend to use it. Really don't know what exactly is it's toxicity, but, is better it prevented than remedied, don't you think?
Thanks for your observation !

This is a fantastic eletromagnetic key. I 'till don't know how to put it on schema, but i know it shifts poles (on/off function) when some eletromagnect power pass trought or next to it.
The seller call it of 'red switch' or 'head switch', doesn't understand him after 3 attempts. :D
Tomorrow i'll do a video with an magnet and a multimeter to show it working... Maybe someone can help me doing the power switch i want to, using this thing...
Today i've removed the painting to start exterior works...
After about 10 minutes the paint was floppy and was easily removed...
Some water sanding...
First piece to get sanded
Just ready for a cleaner job... :D
I'll eat something, blend some plexi and come back here with news, maybe today yet
Thank you !

Thank you !
Some material i'll use to mod the CM aquagate-viva. I'll replace the CM black hose for this transparent and add an UV reactive liquid inside the cooler to get some extra lightning effects.
The fluid will travel trought the ET as a flux indicator. The little ET will move when fluid pass trought it's recipient, that will be yet iluminated with leds that oscilate lights witch HDD activity !
Small ET temporary home...
These bits are for doing a scretch on plexi to plait it. The first one is for 90 degree or more angle, the second is for 30-45 angles. And third is for borders..
Plexi bent using the two bits... steps:
About 45 degree:
Very inovative and expensive plaiting system... :D (surely it's not)
Details, a clean plait:
Tomorrow i'll use this tecnique on front panel and, maybe, start the CM cooler mod. Friday will arrive the colldrive 5 and 6 i've bought.
Thank you !
Pedro Torres.
