Normally the have more of a space between those feed pipes and also benefit the top one pointing towards the side so it runs down the glass rather than dropping straight in... Getting excited to see this thing...so close 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I like it because you can see water flowing without the need of a flow indicator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 5m 9d Posted 03/11/16 07:42 AM Share Posted 03/11/16 07:42 AM Ahh yeah that makes sense. I was thinking the water was free flowing from the top which is why I was asking. Tower effect is awesome also stops bubbles forming in the ressy as the water flows down the sides of the cylinder. Did you grab the from pccasegear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are a little less and you do have to order a minimum $150 AUD, but postage is only $8 to the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a you tube video about bending acrylic tubing, and he said buy twice as much as you need if you are a first timer. Guess how much dumbo here ordered, you guessed it, not enough! Basically the you tube guy was exactly right, I got half of the job done before I ran out of tube. So looks like I wont be finishing off the build for at least another week. Anyway, here is a couple of picks of my first venture into the frustrating world of acrylic tube bending. The mistakes were many I think I will have to replace the ones that do fit cos OCD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just mucking around with the red led's and checking out my new red cables. I'll buy some red engine coolant and add this tomorrow for color. Then finally I'll have my PC back and into some gaming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
