Project: Flux

[Xperiment]

Just thought I would post up a few pictures of some parts I had delivered today.

On the shopping list was:

3 x 80mm AC Ryan UV Orange fans
1 x 120mm AC Ryan UV Orange Fan
1 x Black Ice GT Stealth 120mm Rad

it turns out however that 'in stock' actually means 'out of stock' when it comes to 80mm fans. So to my frustration I am going to have to wait for these Hopefully not too long though.

Anyhow, some pictures:

The rad:

The fan:

I took a couple of pictures of the fan powered up to show the UV Orange effect. I really love AC Ryan fans, such a nice colour effect and the split power is so so handy. I am really looking forward to getting these in the case:

I am just waiting for the rad grill now and I can get cutting. For those who haven't seen the sketch-ups on the front page of this worklog, the rad and fan will be mounted in the top panel, where the drive cages are.

Should be able to get started on the weekend.

Thanks for reading

Nice fans, but why do you say the split power is handy? Seems like it would just be one more thing to try to hide.

[Xperiment]

Strange as it may sound, I do quite enjoy hiding wires, yeah that does sound strange.

Its very rare I will have fans running at 12v. I usually have them at 5-7v and find thats more than enough to cool a waterloop.
With the split power I can do this without having to also drop the power to the LEDs so they stay nice and bright.

The perfect balance of noise v's looks IMO

Ah, I get it now. I didn't understand the split power was one for the fan, the other for led. sorry for that but I am still a noob, to what you can find out there as far as parts go.
