I need to know if anybody is gonna want one !! check it out
ok well i ordered some tubing from US Plastics and just got a call today saying they only sell it in 6ft sections so i ended up ordering 6 foot sections !!!!! so i got 6 feet when i only planned on getting 3 feet !! haha
so now i will be selling some. but i need to know who would all want it. what it is exacly is 3" ID 3 1/2" OD acrylic tubing. then i also have 4" and 3" Circle discs for bottoms. what i planned to do is take the 3" and glue it on the 4" and then glue it on the bottom and then sand it down so its all flat and looks purdy. If you want one please let me know !!!! Im thinking they will be anywhere from $30-$40. they will have aluminum tops (unless you wana make your own !! ) just drilled and tapped with 4-6 Allen Bolts holding it in. i just wana get a list of a few people who would like them. and are 100% sure they want one !! I will make it to the length you want. i paid like $8.50 a foot for the tubing so you can figure about how much itll cost for it and then $2 for the circles on the botom so its costing me about $10 for the acrylic for each foot to make. and then hose barbs. and then a top of some sort. this is a picture of Somewhat what they will look like (pic is from pc-mac2000.com but his are skinnier and tall. |

I'm looking at that myself... For the tube of size about 2".
But your are going to be huge... ID 3" and OD 3.5" ... it.s too big. By the way did you find the clear clips? |

This sounds silly... but you don't have a power supply or motherboard in your case... where are they?

clear clips? them are all machined my lil man
i could have a friend build em outa aluminum but i dunno. the only reason i went w/ bigger tubing was because i guess i just wanted my system to hold more water. i will be making them probably not even 1' or so when i sell them i know people will want em short i could probably even make a bunch of 6" or something !! i got enough to make 8 of them mine will be probably 1 1/2 feet tho gonna hold alot of water |

I may be interested in a custom job, especially if there is some way to get or make those clear holders.
