Drive Bay Reservoirs
Would anyone be interested in clear acrylic Drive bay reservoirs? Raccoon from the Pro/Chat expressed interest in it. Would you guys think such product can have a market?

I would be interested in a couple. One with 3/8" barbs, and the other with 1/2". (depending upon cost ) Blue would be nice. PM me with details if you can provide them.

Hey, I was wondering, if having a peice run part way down the center, to force the water to have to at least somewhat go to the front and back, before going back out, to try to mix it up a little bit would help it out, I would think all you have to do is cut a piece to fit right along it, and then be about 1 inch short of reaching the front of it.

naah. reservoir just holds the water. No need to mix it up or anything. Not like the water thats in there longer would be cooler or anything.

I made one a while back, it worked fine... problem was... it wasn't an air trap because it wasn't at the highest point in the system. Which is rather unfotunate.

In my system it WILL be the highest point in the sytstem.
I am putting the pump in the 3.5 bay, and rad is underneath the bays, and the block is barely below the resevoir |

Pic! Sounds cool. I made one once, then I stepped on it while it was under my blanket in my room. It never even got used.

Still no picture yet, eh ? I think I might just go ahead and make one myself. It can't be very hard to do anyway as long as you can cut the acrylic with a straight edge and properly seal the joints.

no, acrylic is a better thermal insulator than glass. If glass wouldnt, u think acrylic would?

I just got drill bits today. I'll have to cut up from my old acrylic cuz i shattered one of the sides . happens when u go too fast. But i'll try again and come back. Tomorrow i'm thinking would be a good day to finish this up.

I personally prefer solvent cement. Very good stuff. Hard to get but worth it. READ UP on it then try it. Very dangerous.
