eheim 1260 is a good pump for the storm but mind u it aint cheap. its got 3.7m hmax. for storm's recommended 3m hmax and above to fully bring out its potential.

yo MetalZone...maybe you can source some lower cost high hmax pump like the Cyber Aqua CA4700 the one in amok's pump shoot-out. this pump have a 3m hmax and should be suitable for Storm i guess.

kinda opted for that too....

while i was looking around for the Nirox Pump in JB.

but no luck....

IF u can bring those in, maybe wud change pump to those Cyber Aqua

Cyber Aqua arrr... donno yet... will try ok?

U can get the Eheim 1250 from the pet shop in Ikano. They also haf the 1046 n 1048 for those on a lower budget n require less performance.

BTW Uzairi, here's the mounting plate u asked me to make for ure old Aleck water block. I just completed it. I've given it a nice frosted edge too. U just need to put a LED next to the edge n voila! The whole edge is gonna glow. Howzabout that for sum bling bling on an old waterblock? I also gaf it a lil polishing to make the base shine again.

Here's sum pix for u.

Old Aleck block.

wah....nice mod there ianho

the acrlic is 5mm thick and he use a jigsaw + dremel to cut it. more info HERE

harlow, i am new to wc & i would like to ask is Evercool WC-202 wc kit good enough? it has very nice look & design

Now still testing the storm to get the best possible results.

uzai@ pam problem settle led?

ianho@ nice mod man.. mebbe can custom made some top for DDMaze4 and make it universal mounting. (old skool block user here)

Currently using stripped Nirox P2800. Laing D4 still sleeping since im in the middle of final exam. Maybe i'll do something with it and hopefully its alive later.

middle of exam ka bro ?

hang in there.....

just finished mine.... ehehee......

ur LAing still can be fixed ka ??


Does anyone here know ? the best acrylic size to make a drive bay reservoir ??

thanks.

i think 5mm should be enough i guess. thinner acrylic might be susceptible to cracks at the barb holes area due to the pressure of the tubing.

erm...

i had a bit of hairline crack while screwing the barb onto my Glade Reservoir.

anyways.

5mm is quite thick

i wans thinking something like 2mm or 3 mm

erm...

any cool design ??
haha...

Laing still can be fixed, just no time to do it.

Btw im using Glade container as my reservoir too. Done 2 and doing great.

@uzairi
post some pic...i wanna see ...hehehe

LOL, well, since u saw my post at the case mods section, you can see that i was planning to make my res out of 8mm thick acrylic. talk about 2-3mm eh?


sounds good. do you know exactly what went wrong?
hope to see some pics when u do get working on it.
btw, what do u mean by "stripped nirox p2800"? dont tell me you actually hacked off the entire cover except the impeller part, leaving the bare epoxy block.
