What size is it? Do you have a whole bar? What length?

ChrioN · 09-20-2002, 09:08 PM

the bar is about 20" long (50cm) and the diameter is 7,5cm (3")
Its extremly round.

DUDE! it's the perfect starting thing for a spiral block!
Aluminum= easy to mill = cheap.

or you could mill it into a custom aluminum resivour, like the one from germany, complete with a window.

drill some holes in it and you have a pencil holder!

Making round waterblocks is sometimes tricky. Moterboards were designed to have a rectangular (SP) cooling system Just look at the caps around most sockets. Yes a round block can be done, but you cant garantee it would fit most boards. Also when working with round material, your X-Y zero points are always DEAD center. And without a good dial indacator its really hard to tell center.
