Have fun with the build. Will see it hopefully soon.     =)

LC systems will be built on parts of the Alphacool, Phobya and my accessories.
 
Alphacool fittings - tubes 16mm.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... And making endings of the internal G1 / 4 ".
Now you can arm them with standard connectors.
 

 

 

 
Interesting fact - terminals is rotating. In the case of tubes is not a problem, but hoses for positioning said flow rate is difficult. Rotating tip to help.
An additional option is to screw this indicator to the desired location - the rate fixed rigidly keep snakes in check (will not be hanging off :))
 
For assembly is the part that just created:
 
With pieces of acetal we form cubes
 

 

Finished parts.
 

 

 

 

 

The problem is that the factory is not suitable for screw connectors. They have pressed connectors, with which you can connect serial coolers.
Connectors are large, and I needed to put so fitting, so the coolers were changed - the thread is cut IG1 / 4 ".
 
To the right of the original, the left cooler adapted to screw connectors.
 

 

 

 
Initially, I wanted to give flow between the cooler on the reservoir, but it turned out that there is not enough space, so they will be applied in the Dark Base Pro 900.
 

 
Since the first part of the reservoir appeared in the photo above, let's look at them more closely.
 

 

 

 

 

Well, maybe now a short photo report from the creation of parts of the reservoir.
The elements are the upper and lower chamber, a substantially left and right ventricle of the reservoir, which will be on the horizontal.
The chambers consist of plexiglass and black acetal.
Acetal parts formed from acetal shaft with a diameter of 70mm.
 



Cut a suitable piece

 

 
... that's enough.


Cut piece is placed in a lathe and start processing.


The first one went forehead - Aligns and finish the surface.


Now we gather material to obtain a suitable diameter and surface area.


We'll groove cutter, which will help in further processing.


Thanks to him we know roughly how long distance and depth we collect material. We need to collect a lot of material, so the groove will serve as a visual stop and finish and to give a correct assessment will take place using precision knobs.

 


Profiled and razor-sharp steel HSS, we will phase ...



 
In the middle we need a hole with a depth of 11mm.
We equip handle a drill and drill - nothing could be simpler.

 
Turn to Solid carbide milling cutter for chamfering Komet.
Shimmering reflections of different colors are mesmerizing - I love it !!!!!


Before threading chamfer the hole ...


... and tap.


Machining the parts at this stage is over, so it can be cut off.




During arrestor, depending on many factors, swarf of various interesting shapes.

 
Acetal elements are ready, and below the last stages of their creation.
The upper ring - phase done as it should be - on the edges


... and on the screw head.

and the recess on the central bar.

 
The lower disc, one side has to be smooth, but in turning such a soft material, in the middle is very little material, and instead of cutting process, the chip breaks off.
The result is a microscopic trace.

 
Acetal is not suitable for polishing, or at least I do not know how or enhancements, so that we get a very good surface quality, which comes after cutting.
Therefore, to remove the tit will use the cutter spherical Komet 2mm 2Z (I use these cutters also to make the O-ring channels).
The spherical tip of the cutter has a diameter of 2 mm and approximate to tit better reflect its size.


Choose a small amount of material, slightly dive and the end result is even finished, a small bowl with a diameter of less than 1mm.

 

Round ducts for cables have a larger diameter than fillport.
 

 
In order to somehow fix fillport, he made two washers.

 
But the problem has not disappeared, because a large difference in diameter between fillport a hole made fillport was not on the line with the other feed throughs.

 
A small ring centering solved the case.

 

 

Continues to look great.

With aluminum and LED strip I made the frame, which will highlight the sides benchtable.

 
We measure what size frame is to be ...
 

 
nicely cut
 

 
and glue
 

 
LED strip paste inside - aluminum version of "chrome" also reflect the light from the tape and is much brighter.
 

For coolers will be mounted fans Alphacool NB-ELOOP:
 


 

 

 

 
Why I chose LED strip, which is not RGB and is in addition unprotected IP - primarily suitable light color, smaller and more densely positioned LED (very bright), the width of 8mm.
  RGB strip, at least those that I have seen, do not give such a light color which interested me.
White light there is some pink.
The lack of any protective coating IP gave me the opportunity to actually bend the tape as a sheet of paper, thus nicely put together in the corners without cutting, soldering, or the use of angled connectors.
 
If I instead coolers HPC applied classic black, the backlight of them would not make much sense.
While illuminate as bright aluminum fins in the radiator HPC, the effect is (IMO) very nice.
 

 

 

 

Fixing radiators Cape Coral.
The factory in the set there are any clips for fastening with self-tapping screws, but unfortunately I do not use them because they are ugly and would be on view.
The radiator has only one hole 3 mm.
 

 
The idea was to make a longitudinal channel, through which will be able to adjust the position of the radiator.

 
So that it can adjust the position of the cooler, the agent must have hit the insert with a threaded bore, M3 is shaped such that when the tightening does not rotate in the center.
Inserts made of rod fi12 (this had on hand :)).

 
These two pieces will cut across and we will have 4 pads (2 on the radiator).
I used to cut the cutter blade with a thickness of 0.4 mm

 
We cut.

 
Drill holes for the tap.

 
... And quickly inserts ready.

 
In this place they will be loaded before installation.

 
So I prepare cables.
 

 

Oh yes. Contrary to appearances, a lot of time is needed to do all this.
 
Beloved, informative write that both projects will be powered by a very, very good power.
Benchtable will be armed with the Prime Titanium Seasonic 650W, and be quiet Dark Base Pro 900 will get a new, sensational fall out in the test unit EVGA (information soon).
 
 

 

 

 

Somewhere I saw and decided to do it myself and try for carrying out a tube cables through the braid.
 

 

 
I have to admit that the invention is simple and very easy to work. They not hook the pins of the braid, so you do not inhale it, and the imposition of braided cable is much faster - I recommend.
 
This photo pay homage to those who know their stuff, have patience and do it efficiently and aesthetically.

 
Cat ...... intriguing being in no way helped, just the opposite.  

 
... Two all the more.

 
Cables ready.

 

 

Cape Cora mounted using pre-made pads.
 

 
What does it mean to have a good tool ....
In some photos, you can see the company logo BRENZER Poland. I am not obliged to insert this logo, but I want to, because the initial collaboration grew into a perfect friendship with the people who work there.
BRENZER is a distributor of tools such brands as Noris Reime (taps) and Komet Group (cutters).
These are industrial tools for incredible strength and precision. You can not buy in a regular store.
Noris Reime nicely brings out chips, while the other, which I have (well known brands), load the chip inside the dies and the long tapping clog it.

 
As I have already mentioned it, it can show you (as a curiosity) some interesting tools, and some photos of the event, on which I have been with the company.
You see also some of my other work and the reservoir, which will be mounted in the Dark Base Pro 900.

Now some pictures of the same tools.
They are beautiful!
