Because reasons

Go to solution Solved by Cacao,

Interesting idea I never thought of it that way. Here I am trying to figure out ways to like put a metal ring inside the barrel and a hook on the res or something, this makes way more sense. Can't believe I didn't even consider this.

Yeah this is probably the simplest way to do it :P

Hello friends! I come to you today for information. I shall make my first leap into watercooling sometime in late july to mid august and I had an interesting thought. Seeing I will use a custom loop and to fit the theme I want to follow it would work really well if I could cover up my res. What I mean is making essentially a mini barrel case to cover my res to make it look like miniature wine barrel.

 

This is where you come in. I can make the barrel casing but how would I go about attaching it to the res in a way that I can remove it with relative ease but still looks really clean?

 

Also I'm not decided on a res yet so if you can think of one that this would work on that would be great! The case is an Air 540.

lol da hell did I just read...

 

Time to read it a second time because I didn't understand anything the first time :D

 

Ooohhh you want a sort of casing for your res that looks like a wine barrel. I see. So you want to build it out of actual wood?

basically I want to make my res look like barrel. Ill make the barrel covering myself but I'm not sure how I would attach it to a res.

 

Edit : Yeah, I've made a table from an old barrel and now I want to make my res look like one. So I would make the covering from oak wood. I just need to attach it tot he res.

What if the top of the barrel was sort of closed with a cutout for the inlet of the res and you just sort of placed it on top of it?

Not sure if I'm explaining right, but you know what I mean? :D

Yeah, my thanks man! Now to find a res and get to measuring wood. Also, maybe find a camera and make a build log if I decide to go crazy with the modding. :D

Yeah man, definitely do a build log! I wanna see this bad boy ;)
