well sorry for the lack of updates lately guys i've actually had the swine
flu which is not a lot of fun so i haven't been at work i missed our grand
opening uh but i got a package in the mail today so here i am unboxing
something that i bought myself here
and it came in a box that's actually from one of our competitors here so i
you know i'm just covering up the logos here as a lot of you know i work at ncix
so i'm not exactly gonna go advertising for competitors but anyway so the guy
packed it up really really well for me here it's got packing peanuts inside so
what i bought was a frozen q teaver t-virus
inverse reservoir so first of all here's the reservoir itself
let's see what we have inside for accessories i have an inverter
okay which has two bear leads on it
and as well as a molex adapter okay so
these appear to be custom-made very cool
all right so all the wires go in one end rather than
having like a pass-through i'll figure out how that works later okay inside
here we have oh this seems to be the mounting clips as well as a couple of
screws so these are clear acrylic mounting
holders so these are like a half uh
moon shape is one of them broken i hope not
maybe i better open these up really quick here what did i do with my knife
okay
here i sure hope everything survived the
shipment because this took a long time to come let me tell you it's a 150
reservoir and it must have taken a couple months to reach me just because
of the highly custom nature of the work this guy does oh no these look great
okay so there's my acrylic reservoir holders there those look awesome
let's see what else we got inside here i have a pci bracket oh that's a switch
for the light inside the reservoir so the way this actually
works and i'll explain more later is
there's um
an acrylic helix inside so you can see i
have a liquid fusion type with a with a 250 ml tube i mean 150 is
a little small and 400 is really big so
i also have blue color and there we go
that is the full specs of the t virus res that i purchased
you can get in touch with this guy over at extreme systems you can't actually buy these in a store right now i mean
it's the kind of thing where i looked at it and i went okay well we could stock
this but how would we account for all the customization that
people want to do and that is
gorgeous so here is how the res itself
works you have a bits power fill port that he's populated for me at the top
here and you actually fill the res via that
now it uses an aluminum housing for the top and the bottom but the water doesn't
actually make contact with that at all now you can get optional silver or black
caps i went with the black caps on the top and the bottom i think it looks
pretty good and then you can get different finishes on the actual helix
structure itself depending on what you prefer you can get clear or you can get
kind of a frosted look so that when the black light inside you can see the black
light on the inside there glows it will actually light up your uv fluid as well
as the uv acrylic tube that is inside
now at the bottom of the res hold on let me just get this back on the
threading seems good actually that's excellent it's done a good job of that
on the bottom of the res you will find the lead for my cathode that is inside
it seems to be all sealed up there that's good a couple of screws as well
as two g1 quarter ports so i can use
that to attach looks like up to about 3 8 compression fittings no problem and
one can be the input or intake and one
is the outtake for water inside the reservoir so
here's a couple shots of it lit up actually from one of his posts on
extreme systems so you can get a better idea but i think in a couple days once
i've had a chance to work on the system this is going in i should be able to
take some time and show it with some fluid inside it thank you for checking
out my video blog on the t virus reservoir
