I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about the plumes of poo particles contaminating my reservoir and loop.
I found a couple of dead baby spiders floating on the bathtub water. I picked them up with my fingers. I also collected a few stands of my pussy cat hair. She tried to tap the water with her paws. I told her to stop.
Yes the bathtub reservoir is temporary. I wanted to see how well it does on the cooling for my CPU and GPU. It is very effective.
this was certainly the most entertaining thread i've seen in a while. read it all the way. great job cheez. with enough water, it'll take forever to warm up. this is what i still exploit with my original reserator. and completely silent to boot!
Thanks darckhart.

System has been running for several days non-stop and the water is still cool. The water in the bathtub is cooling itself it's amazing. I have my air conditioner in the house set to 78F, which is my normal setting.
Why are you so set on using a bathtub for a videocard? I read your thread and can't seem to find that answer, maybe I missed it.
Yes I said it before. It's for best video quality and to keep my configuration for video unchanged. It's set perfectly and works best with my hardware.
won't pressure of the system be in question here as this will be an open loop? Length of tubing will also be in question which will cause water to run further but not get enough heat exchange?
No pressure issues. That little MaxiJet pump is doing fine. I am amazed that it is able to push water through 78 feet of the entire loop. I wanted to see for myself and it certainly works. The water flow isn't as fast as I hoped but it still pushes and keeps my CPU and GPU temps by nearly by one half. That is impressive.
Your intentions were good however don't take offense. I am going to be completely honest here, this is tacky and very unrealistic.
It may be unrealistic for many, but not for a few artists like myself. I consider myself an artist, not a computer nerd. I was a computer nerd when I was young... I don't want to be nerd now.
Get a Rad and Res and attach it to the top of the inside of that cabinet. For the money you spent on that 70ft of tubing you could have a equivalent cooling system compared to tubing running throughout the house, down the hall, and into the bathroom. Really?
That will make water get warm / hot and will be noisy due to fans cooling the rad. It won't be effective for cooling power. I have done all sorts of closed and open loop cooling in the past. I have used various types of radiators too. Running the loop throughout the house, down the hall, and into the bathroom is cool. As you can see, a few members like the idea and find it cool and unique.
Don't need a Rad for long distance open loop cooling nor any other open look cooling as long as the reservoir is able to sustain good low temps. Radiator is crucially needed for closed loop systems but not for "all" open loop systems. It really depends on the design of your setup.
Guys, like I said, this is my temporary setup. It will not stay like this forever as the water in the bathtub is collecting dust, dead baby spiders, hair, etc on top.
I have two different ways I can go from here:
a). Add a large radiator in the bathroom or in washer & dryer room, mount the fans on it, install a closed reservoir about the size of water bucket. I will need a more powerful pump for this, and need to increase the rate of water flow.
b). Buy a deep freezer and place it in the washer & dryer room. Fill 40 gallons of water. Turn it on only when using the PC, with mildest temp setting.
Either way I go the cost will be about the same. But the option B will be more powerful in cooling. The washer and dryer room is a little bit closer to the living room so the loop will also be a little shorter.
