[Father-Time.]

Update on a few things :)

First the mobo trays or at least one of them ;)

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/mobotray.JPG

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/mobotray1.JPG

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/mobotray2.JPG

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/mobotray3.JPG

The other mobo tray will be highlighted blue :) This is how they are cabled, little messy but effective! I like to use the copper strip on a roll, gives a good solder contact. Which is essential if you cant solder like me :)

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/led.JPG

http://www.father-time.org/pics/onyx/7/led1.JPG

I rewired the radiator housing aswell, they will be individually controllable now, all SIX!!

Next up we got a little res or two, actually tha int little they measure 100mm tube with a total length of 600mm, nice!!!

[-=DoW=- Dsotm]

Hey Sel - you should check out these passive reservoirs - I fitted one as was able to replace my 2 x 120mmm/45db/105cfm panaflows with 2x120mm/14db/54cfm SilenX fans without any increase in temp

http://www.viperlair.com/reviews/case_cool/other/water/wetchill/dradpares/index.shtml

You can drill the tops to insert uv leds (I did). Pics soon

[Father-Time.]

Look at them Ds, they do LOOK cool.
I got some plans for the 2 res's and all the fan will be on individual rheostats, so if i am able i will turn them off, or even run at 7 volts :banger:

Now where your pics of that prommi!!

[ex-Cougar]

wow what a thing how many films you use up? great work! :banger:

[-=DoW=- Boomer]

Hi FT
Is it safe to say that,That monster could be the future of dow
sitting there in your workshop....
Also the No1 question can you be comissioned & most important
how much :lol:

[Panda]

I'll just sit here and be jealous of you, your computers, and your intellect.

[-=DoW=- Dsotm]

Hey Sel - My suburb had a brownout last night - were you testing your rad fans? :D

Serious note: How did you get your 2 psus to switch on in sync? - I want to do this for my pelt.

Hehehe, the psu's, with there being 2 seperate systems in ther they dont need to switch on together, so they will be controlled by just 2 switches.

Brian, do you have a relay, where do you run your pelt from, is it just from your standartd psu or have you put another in?

Boomer. of course i can be commisioned, tell me what ya want :)
