It's only a issue if the intake is pointing down, then during startup the impeller tried to drag the housing.

I am, it will be my first case with liquid cooling and my first case with a view.


I will probably do a few other things to it when it gets back to finish it in my own little ways.

$44 for a pint? I like that its water based but the cost is too rich for my blood.
I would just go to home depot and get a $4 can of fluorescent spray paint.

True, even Cablelas has the clear coating that will glow in UV or black light.




What is everyone using for black light and or UV in cases?

for others that havent used it before here is one
http://www.misterart.com/store/view....1262&store=001

I like these (simple, no heat last a long time)
http://www.coolerguys.com/840556051633.html

These give the best effect though (but make heat, and tend to explode/melt)

nope LEDs are great (but not as much effect as tubes)

The tubes use a little transformer that multiplies the 12V to about 600V to run the tubes. If the boxes arent cooled well they tend to melt. (the covers have small holes punched in them for cooling but I remove the cover compleately to aid cooling)

I'm not looking for super bright just some subtle backlighting and highlighting.

I like the LED UV strip. I could hide it against the door side of the case and let it lite some UV paint and get some UV additive for my coolant.


You gonna send my baby home? I'm ready.

Add this and use one piece of the clear tubing to see movement, or I have had a idea of a cascade or waterfall style clear block to run it through.

Thanks guys.. I was worried about the front (flat no ventitation) but I punched a hole and it looks pretty interesting.
Steevo if you pick up some modders mesh from MNPCTech and make 2 grills it should look really nice.


It can have a quiet mode (door closed, fans low) and a OC mode (door open fans full blast)
