Thanks Samaya!
Dunno, i'll find out TODAY. I'm taking it to rage and it's a little dusty inside. Cleaning the dust inside will be easy though (i have a compressor). I'll need to clean all the dust on the radiator too, and i also need to open up the reservoirs and give them a wipe (that part will take a few hours...)jcd wrote:I have one question? How easy would it be to clean Epiphany once it gets REALLY dusty? (inside)

You know, i actually AM proud of myself. When i first started this mod, i wasn't confident in my modding skill at all (considering i had basically never modded in my life). I was expecting some crappy looking mod in the end. But i really surprised myself, and call me vain or whatever you want, but i think my mod is one of the nicest mods on the planet. I think it looks absolutely incredible.
(i'm allowed to like my work, aren't i? )
My mom is proud too, omw. When i showed her the CPC article, she cried! LOL.

So, i got home this afternoon to a fluid filled Epiphany case. I almost cried.
I think from all the activity at RAGE this weekend i might have caused some damage. And by the looks of things, one of my reservoirs are starting to "expire". I have a few more of them, and almost all of them have got cracks at the barbs. I hope that's not the case with this one because if it is, i can just as well take this entire mod apart and pack it away.
So, at the moment, i'm busy copying a couple hundred gigs of data from epiphany to another PC of mine and then next week i'll have to start taking Epiphany apart to find the leak(s) and rebuild.
This is the most disappointed i've felt in a very very long time...

damn that is just sad news... worked so hard just to have it crack on you...
why not then, yes I know it was quite some money spent on it, but maybe just use it for showcasing?
I would be bummed if that happened and ofc you want to actually use it as a pc, but think it might just save you some effort in everytime this may happen to rebuild and fix/find the leak...
hope you find the culprit...

Thanks guys
You know OTC, i was considering that. I know i spent a crapload of cash on this mod, but i have a couple of other PCs, and i'll most likely be getting another one from my sponsors for my next project, so i don't really need to USE this one. I'm really considering just rebuilding it and then placing it somewhere just to showcase.
What do the rest of you think?
