Hollowed Cube & some semi-mounted Heatercores

Kevin · 12-17-2001, 04:58 AM

Hey hey hey...
I hollowed out the cube for a bunch of work to be done, and I thought y'all might want to see just how crappy and cut up it looks w/out all the purdy fans and grills and stuff.

I decided to see how the shrouded heatercores would look in the case too, and THEY ARE LOOKIN GOOD! If you didn't see just the original shrouds, check here: pReViOuS pOsT

On that last picture, I dont think those fittings are to secure. You may want to add a little more JB-Weld to them just to make sure...

:P

Kevin · 12-17-2001, 05:42 AM

Yah they actually haven't been JB Welded yet. I'm going to trim off that little flap on the last heatercore too. I'll do the JB Welding tomorrow after I get the fans all mounted properly and the case cleaned.

Cuz I don't have time, resources, or patience. Plus I like how my case looks. It looks pimp as hell when it is all put together. But the time and resources thing is the major issue

Hey Kev,

Where are you gonna mount those 120's, inside the shrounds? I see that you are going to use two radiators. I am planning to do the same. I notice you are using one copper rad and an alumium rad. What about corrosion?? I read that mixing the two can make the thing like a battery.

Kevin · 12-18-2001, 02:11 AM

Yah the 120s will go inside the shrouds and I will use water wetter to prevent corrosion.
