Hey Sparky,

I didn't know that you hide out here as well... 6000 posts... omg

Well, I'll kick it off.

Every high end water cooling system begins with a top notch case and a great power supply (or two). In some cases, an auxillary power supply is needed, but we'll cover that later.

Ascension Case Regular

You can also have a custom Ascension case. This is just an example.

wasnt it you that swore the ascension wasnt the best case to watercool?

And wasnt it me that agree'd with you because you still have crap footprint, yet all your stuff is higher, which makes more work on the pump? Unless you plan on doing a metriod and mounting pumps on the wall so it jumps from wall to wall.

hey that sounds kinda cool.

lol....

Iany also, jonnyguru is a mod for the psu section. we have the best psu mod.

And yeah sparky is here, so is yoxxy.

Why buy a cube when you can build a nightstand that looks so much nicer?

LMAO!!!

Because that poor nightstand probably couldnt take the full weight of all that including the 3 x PA120.3 filled with water.

And you know how heavy those suckers are empty. Imagine 3 full.

Not a concern for those who don't have wimpy pumping pressure.. just kidding, mr. moderator

Nightstand... tommorow I have to go to Ikea to have a look

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I need to get my rig built with water cooling--the case is just perfect for it. I don't want to think about how much it is going to weight though. But at least I won't have to worry about someone stealing it.

 

[WoodButcher]

ROLF! Ikea, Naekuh, this is going downhill fast,,,,, :laugh:

Nope, no prob w/ the weight issue but I do go through a lot of discs,,,
My wife burns them all up, I always find her trying to use Nero and Winamp at the same time while she's sitting on the damn thing, I really need to fix the washing machine.

 

[wwswimming]

we had liquid-cooled RF modules on some radio modules, one job i worked on.
modules that produced 100 watts heat, conduction cooled to a cold plate that
was water cooled. modules that produced 1000 watts (in a space 1" x 6" x 7"),
individually liquid-cooled.

if cost is what makes it high-end, it was high end.

 

[aigomorla]

wait ikea!?!?!

isnt that sweedish? Thats not even copper or alu so i have no idea where to place that.

You don't understand! Ikea furniture can be dismantled with just one allen/hex key! The nightstand can be moved to a lan party!! Plus, I guess there must be some use for that cheap pine laminate wood garbage that they sell lol

Ikea's Chairman is among the top five richest men in the world. I wonder if he uses the crap he sells at home lol

Now back to water cooling !! I'll just move the nighstand in front of my bedroom airconditioner!
