basically i'm getting a new case (Chieftec - Blue Dragon Full-Tower DA-01BLD) and im gonna make a window kit with a difference. I'm gonna get two pieces of perspex to create a small hollow in the middle then use a spray system of some kind so that i have water flowing down the inside. Then a bit of UV dye and some CCs etc should look cool.

gonna put some curved perspex inside in the middleso that water flows round it creating a small window in the water so you can see inside the case.

been debating this mod and have come to the conclusion its gonna create a load of noise from teh spashing of water cos i wanted the waterfall not solid water. However my new plan involves a solid water like a fish tank with an air compressor inside whcih blows bubbles up inside it. And bits of plastic to make the bubbles twist around inside the case. Still gonna have a cirlce or 2 of clear where theres no water so you can see inside the case.

just been speaking to deebs and his suggestion has been a denser liquid than water and blow bubbles in it with all the different lights....kindda like a lava lamp :0wn: and get a 2nd pump and turn it into a 2nd system for the window only 8)

have an air vent on teh top with a small tap so i can cut flow when transporting to LANs and tipping etc :mosh:

you like??

LOL!

Sounds exactly like the idea I drew up plans for a while ago (ask Bindi, he'll piss himself). Even the part about the two seperate systems/pumps. Koolvin suggested that. LOL!!

Great idea. Hope you can pull it off 'cause I don't have the money or the resources atm.

I'll try and find my plans later on.

had a feeling it might have been suggested/tried before

anyone actually had the balls to go out and do it????

i think i'm off with my lava lamp idea, and zig zagy bits inside so the bubbles zig zag up through the different colours to the top

I remember seeing on gideontech a few years ago an idea similar to this.
They made awindow unit which had 2 sheets of glass and in the middle they filled it with water. a tube was laid along the bottle with holes in it. Water was filled into the uni and then as the pump was turned on it gave the impression that your comp was underwater

Yeah, Kv showed me that a while ago, was nice mod.
I like the idea of making it WC system intergrated though.
