What corrosion inhibitor will you be using for this incredible work of art? it's got ALOT of dissimilar metals.
Looks really pretty though!

Well, I am a machinist and I have to say, machining this stuff is easy with modern CNC machines, but dreaming up the ideas and importing them from autocad or mastercam like Stevennoland does (I assume that is what you are doing on a HAAS vertical machining center or something similar).......that a whole 'nother story, you are truly talented dude.
I find it hard to believe you could make a 240 perfect part run on a Bridgeport, but it is possible.
Kudos.
Thanks! Yea, if I had access to our CNC machines at work, I'd have been done long ago.
My creativity surges sometimes, but for the most part, it's just even keel.
There is no such thing as perfection, that's why we have tolerance. But I did turn all these fins on a manual lathe, and did all the mill work on a Bridgeport.
It'll take a lot of money to get me to do something like this again!

That 'door rad' is going to look amazing when you're done! Any ETA to when you'll have it done?
Also, do you know how many BTU's it can handle? I'd like one for my livingroom
Joking aside, seriously nice work.
Components? Uh, your guess is as sood as mine. If I had the money when I started this thing and bought my compenets then, I would have been really sorry I had.
So much has changed since this project was put into motion. Can you say 6800 for the video? AMD was king of the hill? LOL
The vids, mobo, cpu, mem, and drives will all come last. I want this thing to be as future proof as possible (well at least a couple weeks).
I was even a little hesitant to buy the PSU, but I figure it should be enough.
As far as the spacing, I'm not to concerned about how well this 'Doorrad' is going to cool. I'm in it for the looks now.
My biggest concern now is: Is it going to leak, and how can I assemble it without scratching the aluminum tubing?
Am I anal or what?
It's been so long, what are those fins for again?
Well you know there's a 2kW PSU coming out soon. Soo, your 1kW will be obsolete before you get to use it
As far as not scratching the aluminum tubing could you put some lubricant coating on the tube before you slide the fins on?
If your being cute, OK, I'll play along. The fins are for the custom radiator being housed in the door of the case. It's name is 'DOORRAD'. Short for door radiator (in case you all hadn't figured that out).
Maybe it's time you US-americans started to upgrade to 230V like the mainland Europeans

I don't mean to thread crap, but upgrade? 230V is superior for some reason?
Nice work Stevennoland! You continue to astound with the extreme attention to detail you are giving this project. I can't wait to see the completed effort.
230V means you have more power for the same wiring. Most US homes already have at least some 230V circuitry for things like your electric stove, electric dryer, and air conditioning.
