I have been trying to develop the idea a little further and am starting to get a picture of what I want from this case.
I am leaning towards a kind of 'cartoon-like industrial' theme:
- The cartoon-like being, large blocks of orange and very simple defined lines.
- The industrial being, lots of aluminum, hex bolts and a very OTT watercooling loop.
I have done a couple more sketch-ups to try and come up with some ideas/features that fit this theme. The main focus at the moment being the top panel of the case.
I am not 100% decided on the theme as yet so any input would be much appreciated.
Have a look see what you think?
The three tubes on the outside of the case would be coming from waterblocks and leading back into the res.
I have one or two concerns about this, wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest or put the brakes on this idea before I spend too much time on it.
A cut away picture of what I'm talking about so you can see what I mean:
My concerns are:
a) would splitting the loop into three tubes after it has been through the blocks cause any flow/pressure problems?
and
b) would having the three inputs to the res on the top cause bubbles that would then be sucked through the loop? (this isn't so much of a problem as I could move things about to have them entering the res from the sides, its just easier from a build point of view to have them going in from the top)
Thanks in advance for any input.
