Another WaterFall Reservoir

How could bong cooling be effective in a closed environment as in a sealed reservoir box? :wtf:
For the bong cooling effect, the fluid should expose to an open heat exchange such as the air in the room so dispersed water exchange heat with the air, and a direct contact between the water particles and the air outside (which also jacks up humidity)., don't expect the acrylic shell to do that.

I was replying to someone in the previous page who thought that waterfall box provides some sort of bong-cooling effect.

You could stick a sheet of kitchen-foil to the base-plate of the reservoir from the outside, it would give a groovy reflective effect to the lighting. If you're placing the cathodes below the reservoir, try to improvize the same on the plate with the holes for the tubing (back plate) instead.
 
Yeah man crinkled foil would do the trick...

I simply adhere the lamps to the res..nothing to it.

The vids are a little deceptive because you only will see the front panel...not the side...so the effect of the lights is indirect and very pleasant...and of course there is always the off switch...
 
A reflection provided from behind the waterfall provides better coloring to the falling water than if the cathodes were just placed below it. Sort of like the coloured fountains you have in amusement parks.
 
Dude

I have a 32 pound box of lasercut parts sitting on my porch :D enough for 13 reservoirs:rockout:
 
Oh I so want one from ya! I would love to have something like that be sitting on my door step!
 
Nice work. The question I have is does this make a lot of noise? It's hard to tell from the youtube videos with the music...

BTW, your musical tastes are about as eclectic as mine... :toast:
 
It's not loud. The fluid doesn't gush or splash really.
 
t_ski should review one :)
 
lol
 
You think I'm kidding don't yea:)
 
No, I know you're serious. That's why your avatar says "Serious Business." ;)
 
You have to admit T this is one of the coolest things in a while!!!!

I havnt had the time or wants to build one myself......
 
I think if there was a dual-bay version, a lot more people would be interested.
 
the #'s dont lie
 
so if you're ready to start doing this on a wider scale...what sort of price could you derive from the costs you've started?

three-bay :) please haha
 
When I get a few assembled this weekend I will be adding them to the online catalog.

I will be asking $100 for the Three Bay. I will have a two bay cut soon. I want to see how these move first.
 
hmm...with shipping + customs ripoff :shadedshu I'd be paying nearer to $160
..cry..
if you make some three-bay models, can you weigh it for me? I can evaluate shipping better, might be less, charge was based off my Corsair HX620 :(

This is coming far from the original custom-order methodology...props, CD :)
 
I think it can be shipped for $27 express international. It only weighs about a pound.

IF (and this is a big if) I can start moving these through my favorite Vendors (like Petras, Performance PCs, JAB, FrozenCPU etc...) The price will drop due to the volume. There is a $100 set up fee for each run. And I only had them cut as many as possible from a single 4' x 8' sheet because I want to see how they sell. If I see a real market I can increase the number per run and decrease my cost.
 
...

I haven't seem one and am not sure if the idea has been suggested. Why not build the waterfall res into the window panel?:)

a long wide fall with a viewing section sealed off with in the fall somewhere...
