    Default DIY Radiator Stand

    So I am getting a test bench from and Italian maker but it has no watercooling options. So I got to thinking about a radiator stand because the test bench is a mini test bench, no WC options.

    I saw the Phobya stand and I really really liked it. Which fits 3x 3.120 rads or a 4x180 rad, but its $90. And they have a smaller one, which fits 2x 2.120 rads and its $60.

    They have options which are great. You can mount your res and pump to the outside or inside of the rad stand.

    So why can't I make it out of pelxi? First off I need to find someone that can laser cut a piece of pelxi that big... ideas?

    I will work on a sketchup model tonight or this weekend.

    Comments and advice welcomed. Cheers till then.

    Images all appear broken.

    I can laser cut up to 8.5"x13" pieces, up to 3/16" thick. I can go up to 1/4", but the edge quality is not good.

    Just design it to be made in smaller parts, say two or three parts.

    I'm working on the SketchUp model now. I have a big sheet of 1/4" Orange acrylic which I think I might use and have someone make me 3x360mm gills made of 1/8" black acrylic to put on top of it. TLHarrel can you pm me about this? Cost wise.


    I'll post again today as soon as the Sketchup is done.
