Did you do the pipework in the fluid res? Normally the have more of a space between those feed pipes and also benefit the top one pointing towards the side so it runs down the glass rather than dropping straight in...

 

Getting excited to see this thing...so close

[bloodycrashboy]

The reservoir came as you see it.

the tubes are blanked off at the end and have holes around the sides of the end.

they call it the "light tower effect"

go to 3:30 minutes on this video and you will see.

Personally I like it because you can see water flowing without the need of a flow indicator 

 

[MBAF]

Ahh yeah that makes sense. I was thinking the water was free flowing from the top which is why I was asking. 

 

Tower effect is awesome also stops bubbles forming in the ressy as the water flows down the sides of the cylinder. 

 

Did you grab the from pccasegear?

Just an FYI, there's a competition for a free PC from Scorptec, of course you do have to sign up to their mailing list http://promo.scorptec.com.au/PAX2016-Ready-to-Win-This

yes, but next time I'm buying direct from Alphacool Germany.

Prices are a little less and you do have to order a minimum $150 AUD, but postage is only $8 to the door

Nice. I really want to build a pc watching all this but just dont have a need/use for it but then I still want to do it.

 

$8 is cheap and prob get to us quicker than pccasegear anyway. Good ol aus post.

so.......... I watched a you tube video about bending acrylic tubing, and he said buy twice as much as you need if you are a first timer.

Guess how much dumbo here ordered,  you guessed it,  not enough!

Basically the you tube guy was exactly right, I got half of the job done before I ran out of tube.

So looks like I wont be finishing off the build for at least another week.

Anyway, here is a couple of picks of my first venture into the frustrating world of acrylic tube bending. 

 

The mistakes were many

 

I think I will have to replace the ones that do fit cos OCD

[bloodycrashboy]

Had a win finally.
Ordered some more acrylic tube on Monday, arrived at work lunch time today [emoji39]
And managed to only stuff one bend this time.
So here it is





Also bought some red cabling



So I'm off down to Coles to buy some distilled water so I can run a leak test.
Getting very excited [emoji3]

[bloodycrashboy]

No leaks (so far) yay. [emoji41]

[bloodycrashboy]

the recommended time for a leak test is a couple of hours.

So just mucking around with the red led's and checking out my new red cables.

I'll buy some red engine coolant and add this tomorrow for color.

Then finally I'll have my PC back and into some gaming
