Hey guys, 

Here is another project we're working on over at Hydra: Flat Reservoirs

As with all the other project we have developed and have received from other people to develop (our intention is to allow people to send us ideas, suggestions etc, help them develop the project and then let them earn from the idea they had), we'll be doing a crowdfunding sometimes near the end of November to start manufacturing them.

These reservoirs allow for vast customization, as you can simply place a cut-out panel on top of them and have a custom made liquid routing of any shape you chose.

We're planning on manufacturing these in a variety of sizes and shapes; for now these are the ones we'll be doing for placement in cases and desk solutions.
They all have 4mm internal height and have been designed to work with pumps up to 24V

400x60mm
250x60mm
150x60mm


We'll also have 3 models to be lodged in drive bays:

3 bay height
4 bay height
5 bay height


I'll be updating the post as our testers (people from italian groups/forums, we are italian based) will send us pics.

For now here are some shots we took of the longer model and others all under works.

the biggest one holds about 80ml of fluid, the smallest about 30ml, but it's enough to grant continuity to the loop (tested it) :)

oh perfect my side panel res project will finally be made easy.

With these indeed ;) we'll also be putting out a few custom-made ones in case some need them :)

Thanks man :)
They can be used as both reservoirs and for liquid routing for mods :)

Haha, I feel like you'r hinting to something :P

We might look into something like that in the future, it is indeed an interesting idea - for now we were thinking of allowing for custom made reservoirs for mods :)

I'd make them bigger for more capacity because the filling process of this alone puts me off the idea of owning one, even if it looks cool as fuck. Sorry.

Uhm, we'll see about that,. but then they'd have to get thicker and it would make them harder to mount/mod in smaller chassis.

Here is an additional prototype, with an additional hole for filling it up (not tasted yet, but the older one was still very easy to fill)

This is a nice concept for getting the look of a big reservoir, without having the space for it.

 

But it makes me wonder if its possible to makes shapes using the same concept? Like having a window where a name is spelled with liquid.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

Now make them as wide as the side panel so we can use a reservoir as a "window". It would also act a bit as a passive radiator.

But the also looks good like they are.

How much would they cost?
 

This might be a cool adition to my build

I understand that but if you only had this as a res, then filling your loop would be a nightmare and if you need to have a separate res with this one, functionally, it's pointless. You could rig up a bigger res to fill it during that process, but again, if you put too much in your fill res then how do you take it off without spilling your coolant everywhere?

Looks very nice.. I hate to be that person, but, can you taste fill ports?

But it makes me wonder if its possible to makes shapes using the same concept? Like having a window where a name is spelled with liquid.

Uhm, technically yes, it would be possible - but it would be much cheaper to cut the name/word out on an adhesive sheet of plastic or similar and place it on it;

If however you'd want the name carved out, I'll have to look up min size and cost :)

 

Now make them as wide as the side panel so we can use a reservoir as a "window". It would also act a bit as a passive radiator.

But the also looks good like they are.

 

It could be done, but sealing might be a bit of a problem there without using thicker plexi to make sure it doesn't "bend out" at all and the liquid stays perfectly distributed - if you want one like that we could try making a prototype based on your specs :)

How much would they cost?

 

This might be a cool adition to my build

right now the expected retail price is 

150x60 17€

250x60 20€

400x60 30€

On demand up to a 500x65 50€ (for now this is max size)

 

I understand that but if you only had this as a res, then filling your loop would be a nightmare and if you need to have a separate res with this one, functionally, it's pointless. You could rig up a bigger res to fill it during that process, but again, if you put too much in your fill res then how do you take it off without spilling your coolant everywhere?

I'll let you know how it goes with filling once a full loop is constructed - one of the guys testing it is building two full loops inside a desk case prototype of ours, so in case it actually is hard to do, we'll certainly make it bigger :)

 

Looks very nice buut.. and I hate to be the person.. can you taste fill ports?

 

 

Nice catch, missed that typo - however I think they would be tasty! look at that resplendent metal! just look at it!

Not bad.

Would they be avalible in us?

Is there any way of mounting this horizantally? If you would make holes right next to eachother it could be used both ways. Also making the fitting at oposites ends, wouldnt that result in quite noisy operations when mounted vertically? I know lots of people with tube reservoirs that use that little extra piece to make sure the water flows back under the water level in the res because of sound considerations.

Sorry non native speaker with a failing vocabulary at the moment xD

Btw I am vdry interested, love the idea!

We put two hole near each other in the new prototype (check one of the post I did earlier :) )

As far as noise goes I'm not sure yet, but we'll test it for sure :D

Thanks for the feedback! all of it is welcome :D
