Project DEEP PURPLE (The Introduction)

[Scotty]

Mixing the PC ICE sounds fun, great if it works.

Hey, I always wondered if those fan silencers do anything, you'll have to let us know how that whole silencing deal goes. So far I'm liken the sound of this man .

Haha, love the kindergarten comment.


Aaaanywho, keep up the good work (or the shipping?), and I can't wait to see it finished.

I've always wondered the same thing. I figured as cheap as they were (a whopping $4.00 each) I'd try.

I plan on doing a rather non-scientific test. I'm going to bolt a fan to a radiator listen to it run, then put the silencer on and see if there is a difference.

I'll post the results of that test when more parts come in as well. It sounds odd to phrase it this way, but i can't wait to get back from vacation to really start on the meat-and-bones of this project.

hey modding fan,
where are your getting your mod supplies from. They are not available in India are they?

If you take the time to read you will discover the answer to your question

Oh, did I mention that, due to my job, I live in India right now so I can’t just run to Home Depot or BestBuy to pick up parts? J My challenge is limited to what I can mail-order from the states, which is 99% of my new build.

Also notice that the last post in this topic was a while ago so he probably wont answer.

Hello! As Simon mentioned, I have to mail-order most of my parts. I've gotten different pieces on order from:
www.xoxide.com
www.performancepcs.com
www.frozencpu.com
and there was one other site that I got through a reference from www.pricewatch.com...but I can't recall the name now.

I'm currently about 1/4 through my vacation. I'm in the airport at Narita Japan having just survived a full week of SCUBA diving in Thailand. I'm heading to Washington DC now where I'll be picking up my Case, then after a few weeks of fun between DC, Denver and Vegas....it'll be back to India, and I'll get back to work on Deep Purple!

But...for anyone who may be interested in knowing what it's like to be 30 meters underwater in Thailand, I'll let one of the oceans ambassador's say hello for now:

Cheers for now!

Wow. I want. Please.

BACK TO REALITY!

Ok the mod is really awsome right now, but I'm not sure if the 2 different colored coolants will mix? Aren't they kind of like oil? Yeah sure you can mix 'em up, but after an hour they'll just seperate again?

Thanks, maximan1

Well, I'm hoping that, like most similar oils, they'd mix together just fine (unlike, say, oil & water). But, with the pump constantly churning them anyway...it should stay mixed.

I'm going to try it outside of the case with a couple of ounces each when I get home. If it doesn't work, back to the drawing board on fluid.

[Saleen]

If it doesn't work, just add some blue food coloring to the red fluid....and its basically anti-freeze, so i don't see why it wouldn't mix with each other, its the same brand and type.
