Thank you very much. I just went by the introduction section and said hi!

I think I have read and understood the rules by now, and I have no sponsors on this mod.

It is called The Theory of Everything, and I think I might get a couple of things in there that does not have anything to do with the theory that Steven Hawking is working on, but I hope they will look cool anyways!

The design of the CPU waterblock is really impressive! I would like to see a performance comparison with other commercial waterblocks

But what about the reservoir? Why not a H-O-H structure with two smaller cilinder and a bigger one?

You have to put the sponsors of this contest, that's to say Coolermaster, Lamptron, Dremel and Aquatuning. I'm sorry it wasn't so clear from the rules

Well, since I've never had a commercial waterblock, I can't really compare it. But I can tell you that simulation has showed that it steal about ½ of the pressure a pump can give, which is why I'm donig 2 loops.

The 2 loops are also the reason for the reservoir. I didn't make the acrylic part, I actually found it while I was out shopping for tools!

Oh, I misunderstood then. But it's fixed!

Thanks man! I'm really honored! I've been making custom watercooling since I started modding, so I just try to do better every time!

Maybe you have seen another of my creations, the watercooled wii?

I hope you mean that in a good way!

Now for the newest update.

I'm gonna do a dual loop, one red and one blue. And since I have the red Phobya fans I was looking for something similar in blue.

Gelid makes some, so I bought a couple.

I dare you to spot any difference except for color! I can't find any.

Why Phobya don't have them in blue is beyond my imagination, but I'm just happy to have found them!

Right now I'm looking at what I can do to mod the fan house, but you'll know soon if I mess it up!

My two ideas are:

1. Mill away some of the outside to give it a better look.

2. Create all new housing from aluminum and Plexiglas.

This will require some thinking, but there's a lot more to do so I wont' keep you waiting long for the next update!

Thanks a lot! It was a hard mod as well, but it was worth it!

And a small update on my fans.

I was looking into the vinyl dye for them as it would be the easiest way to get them white, but it seems to be very hard to find in Denmark. And I also have no idea how the color would look against the other white!

BUT... There are ways of making it easier to get into the nooks and crannys to rough it up. I think I came up with an idea for a better look, and much easier to work with.

I had a coolermaster lying around that I used as a test. And I'll keep the lower chamfer that I removed on the test, since it actually got a bit seperated the ring from the bottom in the corners!

I made a little tapered wooden tool to hold it in place in the lathe.

Before:

And after:

And as a comparison to a real fan for the mod:

It still needs a bit of tweaking, but it's not half bad! I have a feeling I'm going to go with something like that!

Here Is where I made my choice.

I have been thinking about what to do to the case for a while.

I had 3 ideas, and I decided to go with the 3rd and most work-heavy one. This is of course also the idea that I'm sure would be the best looking!

But first is first. Sorry for the pics, but it's dark outside!

I pulled the hdd rack out, not gonna use that at all and it takes up loads of space:

A pic from the back, just to remember how the easy option would have looked!

Back taken out:

Dead mobo fitted for purpose of overlook. It'l be rotated 90 degrees, all ports facing down:

I'm still not sure how I'm going to do this, but I decided to just take it out and let time take it's course!

My main concern with this idea was the gap (or lack of thereof) between the audio/usb/lan and the PSU. But after measuring, it seems there's loads of room!

That's it for now, I'll be back soon!
