Silent Water Cooling

[Haribo]

This is my h2o setup: http://w1.422.comhem.se/~u42228101/h2o/

Maybe someone will find something in there inspiring

I like your no-nonsense setup. It's actually refreshing to see watercooling in a case that hasn't been windowed, lit, and painted all fancy colors.

Thanks, that's exactly how I feel too.

I have water cooling because I want my computer to be fast and silent, not to show off.

Nice setup Haribo. I'm still waiting on my watercooling stuff to come in. Does your chieftec have fan bracket holders? If so, how did you take the bottom front brackets out w/ out breaking them? I have a similar antec case and i'm planning on placing the radiator in the same place as you. Also, how does that reservior connect to the pump? I'm going to making my own res and the way yours is setup seems to be pretty space efficient. BTW, have you tried putting a shroud on your rad. fan? That's one sweet 12v eheim, didn't know they made those. I imagine it doesn't have that high of a flowrate though?

This is not my case but this is how it looked inside before I put in the watercooling:

All the fan holders are plastic and easy to remove, they lift right out. But as you can see there was a second HDD holder underneath the top one and that one I had to remove. That was also pretty easy though, there are 3 small metal plugs holding it and if you drill thrue them with a small drill they lose all their strength and you can just lift it out

The pump just plugs into the reservoir (you just push it in), and the reservoir has som rubber rings in it to keep it from leaking.

Don't know what a shroud is? (I'm swedish)

Yes the pump is lovely, and the flowrate is not bad actually there's some action going on in the system

Oh, now that I look at the brackets again it does lift out easily lol . For info on shrouds check out these links I found useful:
