You know what makes wire cutters amazing.

That's a very interesting machine
I assume the wire doesn't actually cut
Since it's way too thin/not strong enough
Electricity put through the wire does the cutting?
Curious how you cut something that's away/not connected
To the edge?
Again am assuming the wires connected at both ends
To the machine?
So does it drill/cut a "pilot hole"
Then the wires fed through the hole
Then reconnected to the machine?
Then it does the cut?
Seen various cnc,laser cutters etc on here before
But can't say have ever seen one of these
Always interesting to see something new

Correct
Yes you either drill a pilot hole or cut from the edge, the machine then self-threads the wire through.

Thanks
Very impressive
Especially if the machine self threads
That was the part I was curious about
Well curious about all of it lol
But did wonder over that as self threading the wire
Means more continuous work
Without you having to be in attendance
Very useful bit of machinery surprised I never saw one before
Another question
Did say I was curious lol
It's submerged in some sort of non conductive fluid?
If so can you use same fluid for the immersed pc?

Ah... that makes more sense, I was thinking it was a bit of unobtainium wire reciprocating at ridiculous frequencies.... so it's like a laser CNC but with the wire acting as the laser?? (as in, the medium for the enegy to travel through?)
Edit: I was thinking a higher tech version of this:

Yea, its called Wire EDM.
Sorry for the slow updates! Lots of stuff going on. A few weeks back I got the bottom plate sorted design wise:
It was sent for manufacturing this week, and the first bottom plate turned up today.
A quick test fit, and looks perfect, this is just 5mm off its final possition, but I wanted to check for tollerances etc and everything is spot on.

Nice. I am so looking forward to your progress on this. 
Awesome! Always wanted to do a fishtank build, but the only guys who produced the kits priced themselves out of the market and then disappeared. Are you still using rads to cool the fluid? If so - where are they going? Last time I saw this done, it was an oil filled system - he still needed to have flow over the components to help the heat transfer - you planning to have a couple of fans submerged in strategic places? Good news is that with everything being wireless, and the HDDs being solid state, everything can go in, and you don't have to worry about the fluid creeping up your wires and filling up your mouse

Excited to see the results of this!

I was thinking of getting this case.
Haha, unfortunately takes quite a lot of prototyping and revisions to ensure everything comes together correctly with the right tollerances.
Today the radiators turned up from alphacool. Lovely things. 560 profile, multiple inlet and outlet options and a handy drain port in the opposite end.
I decided on the 45mm profile for a couple of reasons.
1) It allows for a larger working space in the back of the case.
2) Can use lower RPM fans.
3) 2x 560 radiators is going to be more than capable of disipating the heat of the system but at the same time allows good clearances if I decide or need to add more.
I imagine I will go for 8 fans on push only (blowing in) and then have a large 200mm exhausting air at the top

Having looked at your original pics, and having never seen this case in person, I hadn't realised the size of the thing!
