Well I will keep some smaller copper leftovers, maybe I can use them somewhere else sometime


Small update/teaser


Mill-route-check of the blocks backside.

Almost done! (movie completely failed cause of the coolant used while milling :/ )

Really can't wait to assemble this with the backplate, POM top en MARSII!

Maybe more this weekend

I actaully already talked with Red about it
He gave me some very useful tips!
Thanks man!



Received a very nice package this weekend from Ivo.

Sorry for the amount of pictures, didn't know which ones to delete
Everything is clickable to 2560 pixels.

Somehow I didn't dare to unpack

And actually stared at it for half an hour before doing anything

As you can see there isn't much left from the 10.6 kg.
The copper part weight is now exactly 1.8kg.

I really think I'm going to nickel plate it.
Copper part is already oxidizing after a few weeks.

But what a job Ivo did ... (And Daniel off course in front!)

POM next to it.

And the 'screwless' backplate.

Just had to put it together fast

Next day some pics in the sun.

Exploded view.

Original red aluminum parts on it.

First time testing the M3 holes with stainless steel I ordered at Highflow

Hmmm nickelplate it?

Think I'm going to polish the POM.

For a next time.

Ok .... it just screamed to be polished

Love Coca Cola.

Love the result
(Camera didn't with all that light)

And put it together once more for you guys

Ivo and Daniel ... Real craftsmanship!
Thanks a very lot to be able to be so close to all this!!!


Now .... let's enjoy the nice weather over here

[Stonerboy779]

I can't wait to see what kind of temps this brings you. It is a thing of beauty.

[CrazyTeaPot]

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Absolutely superb work there.

[L3p]

Thanks a lot guys!
Really can't wait to test it myself
However some things need to be done and the weather is just lovely here

Copper part has been sent to the nickel plater.
So curious how it will look!

Meantime.

Highflow sent me 3 'Cpu lapping kits' to try polishing the POM part.
(Hopefully this will succeed )
Thanks Freddy!

I was looking for O-rings for a while to seal the block.
Luckily Skiryl had some left from a previous project!

The 'Inspired by' logo was grey anodised aluminum.

Now I think it should look like the nickel and fittings.

So lets polish

When I got an hour left next week I will polish the last scratches out.

L3p, you owe me a new laptop after making me drool all over it enough to fry it. Give me a bit to figure out what kind I had though, as this one definitely wasn't a cheapo netbook...oh no, this one was top of the line and I'm going to need a modded replacement. I'll let you decide what mods to make.

[L3p]

Awwww. ... I'm sorry man! What can I do?
(Thanks! )
