Here are the pictures I promised:
A picture of my complete setup, including the 9' run of hose to and from my block, and my Radio Shack thermomiter which I am using temporarily for the water temp. readings.
Here's a closeup (relatively that is) of my tin fan shroud and duct; I made them with tin snips, a file, a drill and a punch riveter.
Here's one that shows my pressure gauge, located at my pump's discharge.
Here's a shot of the top of my reservoir, showing its clear acrylic top (which is cracked... I need to get some thicker plastic I think, as this is only 1/8"). I am thinking of lighting it with LEDs; we'll see how I decide to finish the project.
The next thing I am going to work on is finishing up the case. I still need to build a small power supply for the fans (ok, right now there's only one, but I will need another to help cool the pump when the cover goes on... it's a hot little beast), and which includes a pass through plug for my pump so there's only one power cord going into the back of this thing. I am playing with the idea of an acrylic side panel too, though my girlfriend says that I'm in trouble if I start puting windows in things to show them off
... in any case, I'll post a few shots once I get this whole thing completed.
