| Grab a freah pair of panties fella's because your going to need em when you see this!!!!!! Nov-04-2007 Final product. The prop has it's own little shaft that is keyed. This is so the prop is separate from the sFX. I did this because just in case one fo you knuckle heads should break the prop, you will only have to replace the prop. Plus you can buy the prop when you start making your own Cool? I'm sure you know how the keys work,... the end of the sFX shaft will be keyed too. Them fit together and wham,... one spinning piece. Ok. Now I know I said I was going to mount these sFX's the old way but you know me! Once I have my heart set on something I have to do it! So here it is! The new way! Remember these? This time I only have a 9/64" holes drilled through them. This is the hole size I use to slide a 6-32 bolt through for turn cutting. Now im going to use my VERY helpful cross slide vise to drill them again, this time with a 1/8 bit. Whalaa,... Very nice,.... Some posts,... they have to be 2" max. Going to mill them. Like so,... Perfect. Rounded and polished the ends. Slide through and glue. After they cure I drill out the 9/64" holes to 1/4". The 9/64 acts like a pilot holes for the larger 1/4". You really do not want to drill to 1/4" and then dril out the center of the 1/4" again because if your off by even a bit the second time,... its no longer 1/4". It might not fit on the shaft the way it's suppose to. You get me? Now,... her's the part that had me s@#$ing my pants. literally. Sweaty palms. I have to drill the sFX's. They have to be the same though. if even one hole is off a bit,... it wont mount. I'll have to make it again. SO,... i need a system of doing this. So,.. this pipe is the same diameter I used to make the sFX's. Im goign to drill a 1/8" hole right through it. Has to be dead center. You dont want this to be off because your sFX will be crooked. Prepping,... i got my LED light shinning through the holes to better align the sFX dead center. The light is where the bit is going. It was hard to see the hole in the pipe through the tinted sFX. Cool ehh? Lets see how I do! Nailed it! OMG thats cool! Damn. Just damn. Together. Done. Qhs. DarthBeavis. Qhs. Top. Bottom. DarthBeavis. ![]() Bottom. Top. Here's the eye candy,... Qhs. Something is wrong with my UV's,... one of them burnt out and the others seem dim,... I'm thinking that I am running them to hot. I have to make another one. This one is just so,... breath taking. Ho shiat. DarthBeavis's,... Now,... time to close up Darth's two dual res's. After this it will be time for the aluminum work. ![]() I have to test these res's out first. Video later on. WHAT YOU GUY THINK!!!! Hot right!!! I feel sorry for anyone going up against these at any contests!!! MUH HA HA HA!!!!

| Ok,... dualies are done. There's a problem with the sFX's though. They wont turn. I know why they wont turn. I order some more material that I have to wait a couple of days to get it because mcmaster doesnt have it. So,... in the mean time I will be working on a mounting system. Wait till you see what I came up with You know people ask wher eI get my ideas from,... the mounting system, I got that idea on the floor. LOL. I was laying down at the studio trying to sleep becuase I was so damn tired. As I was falling asleep I saw some o-rings that I bought that were to big for what I was going to use them for. They were going to be used to seal up the reservoirs. Anyways,... the o-rings are 2.5" in diameter. I have no use for them. For a while now I was thinking,... what the hell can I do with those. I have like 50 or 100 of them! So thats when it hit me,... to mount the reservoirs. You know,... as im writing this now,... I do remember someone asking me if they were to mount the reservoirs,... I cant remember who though?!?!? Anyways,... intially i wasnt goign to use them to mount the reservoirs. But now,... it's actually a great idea. BUT you have to see what I have planned. Its perfect! I needed a mounting system where I could mount shields but for those who dont want shields,... I didnt want it where there are like unused thread-serts showing. You know what I mean? So this mounting system is going to be pretty neat. I'll be starting it tomorrow. Going to rest today. Nov-06-2007 DB's dualies,... glued. Very nice seal! Ends rounded and excess sanded away. Polished. CyberDruid is right,... glued reservoirs are still the S@#$! They look like jewls or something,... LED plugs. Fittings. OH,... DB, these reservoirs aren't coming with the fittings. I use them for pics and sizing up,... you on your own with that. These fittings are close as hell! I hope I can get the damn hoses on!! Yup They are close as hell together but you can get them on. Thats 1/8" thick primoflex I think its called? I dont know. I had to use a smidge of lube to get them on. They have to go on together at the same time. I think you can get them on one by one but a lube is needed. I love how the total width of the hoses is about the same as the res itself. Thats tight. But nice. Ok,... so it either this, which is most likely going to be how they are arranged. This or,... This. Nah,.... in the middle is fine. Now,... I am thinking about having the dualies,... prependicular straight up or like this, angled out. I have to make up my mind now because once the shields are made, I cant turn them after. So yea. Here they are angled inward which is cool but the inner chamber will be hidden. Building a test rig. Drilled, countersunk, and ready to be installed. Very cool looking. I need to make a wooden case some day. But I want to make one that holds itself together like that one case, I forgot it's name. A bead of glue just for some extra strength. MY old Backout gear. I have to get new gear. This stuff is old as hell. DB's ready to be tested,... Now as said before,... the res's failed. I do not want to go into details as to why because,... well. It's a long story. I'm going to make a special part once I get my stuff in the mail and that will be that. I'm going to work on the mounting system while im waiting. Plus I have two more xPO's to fix,... S@#$.

| Ok,... here's the my fix on the spinning problem. The spinnign problem is simple to understand. Basically,... the "in" is flowing a jet of water against the bottom of the propeller wher ethe "out" port is pulling water from above the porpeller and trhough it which is working against the the "in" port. I need keep the "out" port from pulling water throught eh propeller. Here's how,... Nov-11-2007 With this,... it's basically a pan with a hole in the bottom for the intake. The pan's out diameter is about 2-1/8" where the inside diameter of the res's body is about 2-1/4" which give a good 1/16" groove all the way around. It's actually a bit more,... more like 3/32". Anyways,... it forces the out port to pull from around the pan which means it will be pulling from around the propeller instead of through it. water being pulled around the pan will come from about the prop and even in teh pan itself but thats ok because the water has to go up to get over the pans wall. Water going up is fine. Thats what I want. So yea. It works great!!! OH,... the little tube glued to the hole is for the in port. I cut the diameter down so that tube fits inside the in port which keep the pan from turn with the prop. That holes has to stay aligned with the in port so the jet of water bypasses the area where the out port is pulling from. The jet makes it way up into the the pan to push the prop. I am goign to remake these because im not fully happy with how they came out. I know a better way to make them. So I will do that today. I will have both re's done today and ready for the aluminum work. I will also start my new brackets to day too I ahve off tonight so I will be there all night working on this. The pan only adds an additional 1/4" to the overall height of the reservoir which is pretty damn good!! I'm thinking about lowering the pan a bit more and giving the walls of the pans a tiny bit more height. Here's the video. Remember,... what you are seeing is with a FULL watercooling setup and not just a pump. I cant imagine how fast it would be if I just had a pump hooked to it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqjsKm3ZHnI

| A solution that is as simple as it is effective. I would have never thought of something like that, you really are an evil genius at casemodding ![]() BTW, saw the Youtube movie with the compressed air on the FX thingie, I didn't expect them to be that strong!

| @ Demoniac - They are very strong depending on how they are contructed. Acylic in general is very strong. But,... even though it's very strong it still does shatter fairly easy. Think of it like Tungsten Carbide which is a EXTREMLY hard metal that is used to cut other metals,... its very hard but if you were to chuck it at the floor it would shatter and break apart. @ somers - it's a reservoir and its used in conjunction with other watercoooling products to help keep your computer cool. You can install these reservrois inside your computer or even on the outside.

| Damn,... so I didnt finishing updating both reservoirs last night. I kind of,... killed myself at the gym and I was sore as HELL!!! OMG,... I was so damn swolen. Anyways,... I ended up sleeping late and didnt make it to the studio until like 3:30am. Anyways,... I also ran into some trouble making the new pan things. I'll explain. Nov-12-2007 This pan assembly has a thickness of 1/16" all around. HEre are some 2.5"OD 1/4" thick rings to cut down to 1/16" thick. There are some 1/16" thick squares to make the disc's. Goign to use this to cut down the rings. Altough it works fine the first time,.. I needed a way to hold the rings tighter. Solution. Made slits and I pushed in these aluminum wedges. Works great. Cutting down,.. Looks cool. Done. OMG I'M SWOLLEN! Ripped. Damn,... i can barely move. Where was i,... oh yea. Done. One of the rings fell of range so I cant use it. So,... here's an example of how strong this s@#$ is. This is just before it broke. This is how I cut the discs the last time but this time I'm not using a 1/4" bolts. So this didnt work very well. I tried several times and wasted so muc time with this. Anyways,... this 1/16" acrylic rips very easily when cutting. I recommend cutting it at a very high speed and fed slowly. I cut mine at like 2100+rpm. A new stool,... Because my fat A@# broke the other one. OMG I wish I had all my media equipment,... if the video recorder was running that would of been funny as hell to watch. I totally busted my a!@. The funny part was that I just didnt fall to the floor. I fell back and hit the wal and then slide sideways onto the floor. The whole time I'm trying to grab a hold of something but couldnt get grip so BAAM! LOL. I didnt know what was happening until I saw the chair. I'm like why am I falling!??! BAAM! HA HA,... Anyways,... almost done. Modder, TheAlien asked about it so here it is! Dual intake! OH yea! Sending this to the company too. This is how im cutting the the little pieces. I didnt do it this way the last time and it took that much longer. This worked great! I used a spike because using bolts kept stripoing the inside. This was that much better. Look at that!!! They are perfect! So tiny and yet perfect. Dual in,... lets glue em. Oh yea,... so hot. I didnt use the 1/4" shaft in the middle like last time because this is easier and better. The larger center tube only has to be placed about center and glued instead of being inserted then glued. The larger center keeps the pan straighter too. The last ones had a slight tilt to them. I didnt like that. Damn that looks great!! Thats just friggin cool! DUAL BABY!!! Thanks TheAlien Does this mean I have to test it out?!?!? Prop in place,... Pan covers the props fully now,... Thats looks so cool. I just have to put the new pan inside darths,.. and I have to resive Qhs's and then install his. After that its time for the brackets.
