garetjax · 11-12-2001, 02:40 PM

Hi,

Case-etc is out of stock - where else can I get some blue dye-lite?

Thanks - GaretJax

I think you can get it direct from www.overclock-watercool.com . If not, gee... I couldn't tell ya but I have seen similar stuff at other places.

We might be watercooling nerds if...
we go to auto parts stores for computer parts more than we do Best Buy

lol yea I go to hardware stores and auto parts stores a lot more than any electronics store. Unless I am repairing someone's computer and need a part immediately I just buy online and wait. I hit the Lowe's or Auto Zone 1-2 times a week tho.

Kevin,

The ocwc site links to caseetc to buy it. I tried autozone when I picked up my rad and my chrome window trim but they didn't carry it - I'll try pep boys.

Thanks - GaretJax

If not Pep-Boys or Napa just go to a radiator repair place. Ask them for some dyelite (bring a container

) Seriously I went to my mechanic and asked him, he has about 4 gallons of the stuff laying around, gave me a 1/2 PINT of green for free!!

Oh...Autozone, Ace, and Lowes are my favorite computer stores

BTW forgot to menetion. Just buy or *ahem* aquire some highliters. I cut about 10 blue ones open (compliments of Pinpoint Technologies) an dropped em into a gallon of distilled H20. Leave it sit over night for the color to diffuse into the water and there you go. Not quite as bright as dyelite but it still looks perty.

Alives · 11-14-2001, 01:45 AM

that could eventually clog

decodeddiesel · 11-14-2001, 03:57 PM

how? I'm not talking about shreading them and dumping em into your WC rig, rather if you cut open one end of a high lighter you will find a tube of felt that is wraped in plastic. You drop that into the water and the dye will diffuse out of the felt into the water. If yu do it right it is impossible for it to clog.

Alives · 11-15-2001, 02:39 AM

that dye clogs...do a search on it

I think he's going by the little blurb Chip posted on OCWC about the Glowbottles stuff. Which is still say is a load of BS, if he wasn't using $5 pumps, they'd be fine. I'd use glowbottles before I'd use a highlighter, just because ripping open highlighers is too ghetto.

Darkhorse · 11-16-2001, 04:17 PM

Are you saying it wouldn't work/cause problems or that your preference is not to use it?

UnaClocker · 11-16-2001, 07:16 PM

Ok, the glowbottle stuff might really be as bad as Chip says.. I'm stubborn tho, so he's sending me some so I can destroy my system with it and see for myself. Until I get done with my tests, I wouldn't recommend you doing it, because he swears up and down it's the spawn of satan. Stick with the Dye-Lite stuff, it's been proven to be wonderful.
