Relikar: For the Lady

[bungwirez]

Can still hear my Dad... "Hey, grab me the red handled Robertson will ya."

[Relikar]

At an Acklands, Brafsco or Fastenal you can buy any type of screw/bolt.
For a few dollars more you can get them at a Home Depot, Lowes, Canadian Tire or a Rona, they have a smaller selection though.

The only store in my town is home hardware, and they have pretty much nothing. I don't really want to drive 4:30 hours for 8 screws

I'll try fastener express though, thanks guys.

Those are button heads, they won't work. They have to be completely flat to fit under this filter.

Edit: Fastener Express only has Nylon screws with flat heads in 1 1/4 length.

[Hooded]

Those are the flattest screws come.
If that won't fit you'll need to have the fans counter sunk, so counter sink screws will work.

is for rad and fan?

nylon is more than enough, 4 screw per fan

Yeah that's what I'm after, can't seem to find any besides the nylon ones though. I ordered both the nylons and some small button heads.

Gonna have to place this build on hold, I got a job offer yesterday which, for the first while, cuts my income down a decent amount, but in the end pays off with a stationary engineering ticket. Asus Impact should be arriving today, will post pictures, probably won't be making any other orders for a month or more. I'll still stick around to see what you fools are up too though

High Five Relik. make some money.

Decided to do a few test bends today with the acrylic tubing. First attempt was a total failure. Didn't use enough olive oil, the bending sleeve got stuck in the tub and I had to unbend it to retrieve it (don't try it, it destroys the tube)

Second test went better, but it's obvious that my bends are going to need much more planning on the actual build. Also, another reason I wanted to do a test was because I thought I may have stripped a screw while assembling the res/pump but it seems to not be leaking.

Oh and bubbles.



This beauty is also waiting to be installed

Nice bends, cute little high-quality mobo there ! Not sure on that coolant colour though.

[MRDcanadian]

nice work sir. did you find the process hard to bend them? nice choice of mobo sir

[Relikar]

that was just some coolant i had laying around, final color will be pink.

Also, MRD, bending is really easy, you don't even need a mandril to bend the tube around. More planning would come in handy though, because eye balling it doesn't work at all.

Oh and don't heat one side too quickly, it bubbles up and ruins the tube.

Quick update, got a shipment in today. The screws for the rad fit perfectly, and modding the LEDs on fans is a pain in the ass. Will post a picture once I get these stupid things done.

Finally nylon r small button head screw?
