    Default Custom Acrylic Reservoir... good idea or bad?

    Okay.. so this is just a super fast drawn sketch type deal of a drawing here. Just to give you the idea of what I am wanting to do. (since I am still learning sketchup) But anywho.. let me know if you think this would be a good, bad or an ok idea. Thanks a bunches!

    Oh and also.. if anyone knows how to work with acrylic then let me know.. lol because I have no idea what I am doing! ^_^




    The cylinder thing there is a hole for the fan at the top of the case. The two holes by that are the holes that go and come from the pump. The other two holes (one on top and one on the side) ore going to be danger den fil ports. One for filling, one for draining.

    Do you have any Idea's? Like anything else I can do? Thats sadly the only thing I can think of doing... other than putting LED's behind the case door and putting a cold cathode under the case. This case is so hard to work with because its already pre-modded.. but I want to make it more one of a kind. Surely a custom reservoir cant be the only thing can it?

    You could paint it a different color (unless you want it black). Or paint the inside. But yeah, the res looks good.

    Thanks, It took me about 3 seconds to draw. ^_^ I think I am going to paint the inside UV Blue. Heres my list of mods so far...

    -UV Blue Paint on the inside of case
    -UV 80mm Round Cathode in reservoir
    -Blue Cathode under case
    -Blue LED's Behind the door

    Hmmm... somehow I just dont feel satisfied. ARGH! I hate pre-modded computers! lol

    Lol, yeah, it makes modding it yourself harder. You could also cut a huge hole on top of your case so when you look through the res you will see the inside of you computer. That could be interesting.

    I wonder if I could cut the other side of the case and put a window there.... so you can see the back of my motherboard? lol maybe not, Idk. I dont want to ruin the nice piano black paint job finish on it.

    oh and I am also using UV coolant.. lol so this mother should glow like you just dont know! WHOO! Way to go me... i feel so gay now. ^_^
