Ah crap...

ok so go to the download page, then on the second line of the nav bar, select "Sketchup Viewer"... (I must be blind!)

I'll have to restart this Office PC to give it a whirl.

If you want to learn a descent 3D CAD program that will work descently on your computer, look into Rhino3D. Its fairly easy, so it's a good starting place for someone new to 3D CAD. Of course, it doesnt come anywhere near to the functionality of Pro-E or inventor, but I ran it on a P133@150Mhz (yea, I'm a badass overclocker!! werd), and it ran fairly descently, as well as a PIII800, where it ran perfectly fine. As long as you don't intend to render with Flamingo, you should be able to run it fairly well.

Hope that helped you a little.

Sorry about the size of the image but it was a rush screeny :S, I drew the bracket in Solid Edge so i could get a DXF out of it. Very simple design nexxo and its always nice to protect the thing that costs the mosts the most in the case.

One thing is that the fold on that is on the wronge side have since ammend this and am going to nock up a prototype out of 1.2mm ally.

Waiting for the GO from you Nexxo

Thanks man

Oop. Sorry M_D_K, I have not visited here for a while. You have my Go Ahead to produce as many of the things as your little heart desires. However I would make it out of 2mm aluminium; 1.2mm just doesn't have the structural integrity and it will just collapse. Also I would put in the top fold as well so the rubber edge trim can be nestled in there, and to provide more structural integrity. For this make sure the top fold extends well into the triangular area.

Where'd you get that cool hose thing btw?
Conveniently, the coolant I am using is PF5080 fluorinert. This totally inert coolant comes in clear colour only and you cannot put dye in it (PF5080 is nearly twice as heavy and the dye would just separate). Obviously it does not need additives either.

The hose clamp on the pump is a Pi-thon hose clamp. Visit their site for more info. If you mean the hose separator on the GPU hoses, that one comes from Billet Specialties.

Since that picture was taken, I have switched to dual Opterons on an MSI K8T Master-2Far board. The blocks had new Xeon mountings CNC'd for them. Looks rather swish. Check out the project logs on Bit-Tech.net or Wizdforums.co.uk.
