Wouldn't good ol' coolant do the same job? You can get that in green. :D
Nice case F-, I've been following your progress since last week BTW. Hope your finger is healing OK.
Just one thing: Are you planning on keeping the radiator inside the case? Wouldn't it work more efficiently outside with the resovior?
There would be a small decrease in temperature but it's really not worth it. I would have to find somewhere to mount it outside the case, I would have to run power out there for the fan and it would be much louder having the fan outside. Also, coolant would do a similar (not quite as good cooling) job but it wouldn't prevent bacteria from forming.Quote:

You can add simple food colourant to water to get more 'interesting' shades usually it doesn't react with any anti bacterial agents (I've used the stuff from pet shops for aquariums for this) ... I have a 'dude' who added coloured oil to his system to get quite 'mad' effects in the water reservoir, though personally I'd be a bit iffy about what effect that might have on cooling ... but his temps are good ! so I guess why not !?!
Oh edit ...
On a more prosaic note ... re pliers ... I've always found 'circlips' the ones you tighten with a screwdriver or nut are by far superior to any other method to 'crimp' conections tight ...
Those do generally work better... except with acrylic tubing. They generally have a very negative effect being that they cut into the tubing, many times cutting it off completely. The plastic racheting clamps are generally the best to use for maximum tightness and to avoid any problems with the tubing.Quote:

You can buy ones with plastic (I don't know how to describe them) ... oh yeah threads ! ... & metal 'tighteners' ... but I get your drift ... I have used ptfe (plumbers tape) to alleviate this too (around the tubes below where any fasteners go) ... it's probably all done by now, anyways ... but a tip nevertheless ;)Quote:
