    Well I meant a sanctioned LAN party. We installed CS: Source Gun Game on VM's and played that all the time.

    Sorry for not keeping this log up to date guys! Will not happen again, I promiss!

    First of all, a youtube video of a test reservoir I made



    And Just to show how good my measures is on this thing









    Just wanted to show you all how this thing works, as it really is not a reservoir lol.



    This is how the water will flow, coming in in the bottom and exiting in the top.



    And for the connections - The main reason to make this thing was because I thought it would look cool (lol) and because setting the pump and radiator together by itself would look dumb.
    So how it works now is that the pump pumps the water into the, lets just call it the showoff reservoir for now, and then into the radiator. The acrylic tubes in the picture will of course be replaced with some longer ones

    The main reservoir will sit in the front and occupy the three 120 mm fanslots there (did anyone say 40 mm POM?)

    Wasnt quite satisfied with the old interioir, so I came up with a new design. Pictures say more than words so enjoy these renders









    It is done!!! Just need some finishing up with some sandpaper:rock:



    Old prototype versus finished version



    And the back. The two bitspower stop fittings will be replaced by some LED plugs of course







    Finished the big reservoir! I apoligize for the pics, I need to clean it with destiled water and sand it some more









    And here you can see the slot for the water filter

    Enjoy Next up is the cover plate, and finding o-rings

    And here we go. Cant cheat you guys can I now



    The two babies together



    Here you see half of the filter in place.



    And a picture of the countersunk screws on the small reservoir.



    And in its full state. I still need to sink one of the holes, but I need a smaller countersinker (spelled?) for that. That should be found tomorrow



    And the filter. I wont put it together yet, since it will "click" together. The plan is to put a filter in between the two parts, and then click it together.



    And PC-Beto standing in the corner watching my every move



    Dont think I mentioned it, but I bought 3 noiseblocker fans to reduce vibrations from the pumps



    For these I also got these stickers, so they can look nice and neat!



    Milled the edges of the showoff reservoir so the top acrylic plate and the res itself is 100 percent flush.



    Got holes drilled for input and output.



    And got this milled Setting up the 0-point for the mill was a pita! But it turned out great
    An o-ring will be placed here, so I can swap the filter out without trouble.



    And the filter will slide in like this^



    For the harddrives, I plan on setting them up like this^



    And how the thing looks like in the case, and a little hint about how I will route the hoses.



    Again, how I plan on placing the harddrives. There will be some 3d printing pwnage for these too

    Over and out xD At least you got a BIG update this time then

    Remember, Christmas is near!
    is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

    nice work! The res should feed the pump though (usually does anyways) not the other way around

    Not sure about what you mean here, but the pumps are fed by the BIG reservoir The small "showoff reservoir" is just in place to look good, and make connections easier
