New Water Cooling Kit

[clocker]

I wonder how often a setup like that needs to be replenished.
I went back and reread about bongs last night and you've definitely piqued my interest again.

Earlier this week while killing some time, I checked out the pumps available for aquariums and garden fountains, either of which would be suitable for a bong.
They're cheap ( which is a must) and readily available ( another good thing).

Shoot, you could probably build the whole thing for under $75.
Not counting the waterblock, of course.

It's simple, Rossco.
Basically, just an evaporative cooler, very much like a swamp cooler.

Advantages:
Cheap
Easily built
Very efficient...much more so than a closed loop system (radiator), temps routinely in the teens

Disadvantages:
Open loop...the water will eventually evaporate so you must monitor and refill as necessary
Size...to a certain extent, the bigger the better
Clunky addition to the PC tower...although the only interface between the comp and the bong is the waterlines, maintenance would be more difficult...

alright im sorta understanding. but i think i should worry about learning watercooling...i still dont know how they get the water into the pipes without spilling or not getting enough

Filling the system and burping the air out is actually the easy part.
It is more difficult in a closed loop setup...in an open loop system (like the waterbong) filling and bleeding is a non-issue.
