    Thats weird - I have just posted the name of the acrylic glue and source - and it ain't sodding well here! Will go and find it again.................

    Tensole - you get different types for different thicknesses.
    Its more of a welding sovent than a glue - melts the plastic together!

    No Pic :(

    Sorry Codex, I don't have a pic of it. I've been trying to find the guy, because I haven't talked to him in awhile, and he also has some other things of mine. If I get ahold of him, I'll see if I can post a pic.

    The main reason for wanting to glue is to make a reservoir as the one that came with my water kit is way too small for the bigger and better pump that i now have.

    Does anyone else have any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas?

    Rik, I have this aversion about mixing fluids with electrics so any suggestions about having your own personal pond in the system case gives me the creeps!

    I used my water kit in my old 32bit system for over 3 years without a problem.
    I now run a 64bit socket 754 so i have had to "adapt" my cpu water block mountings. As soon as i have the reservoir built I will be fitting my water kit.

    I did once have a major water spillage inside my 32bit pc during the early stages of fitting, but I left it to dry out, checked it all, and had no problems at all.

    Electronics generally has no problem with water, its the impurities in the water that causes the problems.

    This is a mock up of what i want to achieve.

    I'm afraid you will have to use your imagination, the 2 fan grills will have blue led fans behind them and the letters will be clear and lit by other led's.

    I am hoping to get Julio's consent/permission to use the TS logo on my pc, but i haven't heard from him and I'm eager to get it done.

    Nope, no news from Julio as yet. He's a busy guy i suspect.

    I came up with a new idea. I am going to cut a window in the top of my case. here's a pic of what i intend to do.

    [IMG]

    The black areas will be clear acrylic. My psu has blue led fans in it so that will light it all up.



    I cant wait to get my case sorted.:) The problem is my feet and legs are swollen and quite painful at the moment, so i recon it will take a while to do.:( I will get started on it tomorrow and add pictures in this thread as i go if anyone is interested.

    Sorry to hear about the feet & legs - nothing to do with the Capri seat I hope?
  12. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    Cheerz AlbertLionheart, nope, the seat has nothing to do with it. I have a suspected kidney problem of some kind. Should hopefully know more when i get all my test results on thursday.




    Woooo hooooo, I just got an email from Julio and he is absolutely fine with my window mod. Fantastic news.:D
  13. AlbertLionheart TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 2,711

    Sheeesh - hope it all works out with the test results on Thursday: best of luck - and you will have to let us know what this case looks like when you have it finished.

    Thanx AlbetLionheart, im keeping my fingers crossed that it isnt too serious.

    On a brighter note, ive got the 2 fans fitted.

    Now that Julio has very kindly given me his permission to use the TS logo, i will start cutting the letters out tomorrow.
  15. AlbertLionheart TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 2,711

    Cool - that Capri seat is really soooo hot hot hot!
  16. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    My friend who gave me the seat still has the matching one and the back seat.
    How about a capri sofa??:)
  17. AlbertLionheart TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 2,711

    Nah - that would be so cool you would need too many fans......
  18. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    Not quite sure what you mean there?!?!
  19. AlbertLionheart TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 2,711

    One front seat = 2 fans. How many for the whole back seat?? Sorry - joke!
  20. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    Oic, at least 4.:D
