Hey there Anandtech. I'm a fairly newish modder (I work at a very quick pace) and I wanted to share my build from over on overclock.net

Back in December, I had gotten a Apevia case, and started modding it around January. I've always love to innovate and invent, and this wasn't cutting it for me.

Well I went a little crazy and added integrated evaporative coolers, and some other crazy things... And Project Rainfall was born, my prototype for Arctic Rain.







Full log for Project Rainfall is over on overclock.net

I found my disuse of radiators to work rather well, having a huge thermal capacity, and capable of some really good temperatures. I've since moved on to bigger and better things.

Enter the Azza Genesis 9000. This is my new build, Arctic Rain. It's an all-white evaporative cooler based computer, featuring, well, evaporative cooling and very little color. Right now, It's about 80% finished, mostly just waiting on some parts such as a ASUS Sabertooth Z77 (Going to be repainted in all gloss white) and a EVGA GTX670 FTW. Both my GTX670 and 2600K will be under water.

As it sits:







EK Waterblocks is now a welcome help to this build, which I must have complete by the end of august in order to have a computer to return to school with. EK is providing me with a FC680 Water block as well as their
EK Supreme CPU Block. These parts should be in over the course of the next week or two.

So here's my progress so far.

does it recycle?
how is it evaporative?

Is it off the same design as a bong cooler?
Where does the evaporate goto? where does it cool back to liquid?

Im lost in your design, as it goes against a lot of physics from just looking at pictures.
