No dawg, the WC setup was hardly silent.
I kept adding more fans to try and better the performance, which was far more dependent on the room ambient than air only cooling seems to be.
Plus, it was clunky...I ended up with the radiator, pump and fill tubes all on the outside of the case...Sprocket was beginning to look as if she had been assimilated ( "ass-laminated"?) by the Borg.

Pics will come...I just want to let her run for a while longer before I disconnect everything and move it for photos.

No bathroom beauty shots this time.
Sorry.

Pic, as promised.



I haven't decided how to fasten the panel in...right now it's just resting on the foam.
I'm sorta thinking of just using Goop to glue it to the two foam tubes and letting it go at that. They seem fairly snug and should hold the panel in place, plus it would make removal/installation a snap. Literally.

The gluwe should work...

I actually have started using a Hot Glue gun to make a bead around my fans that holds and keeps away vibration...

Very nice so far (Also Clocker nice moniter!!! I had to spray paint mine )
The wires are pretty damn close to perfect keep this up and it will be fine!

My project: To make a set of Circut Sized wires that are on a micron scale... Found a friend here that does that kinda stuff... Also i plan to replace the molex connecter with a ribbon cable connection...much like those found in playstation 2s... (basicly invisible) i think my findings may be of some use to you... My goal is something that looks like a IDE cable that holds ALL wires in the case... It will travel in the case... and look really awsome... if i can get it in my plexy then it should like the case had integrated circuts in it!!!

I think you are getting very close... still think you should just have a duct that pumps air in from outside...

Clocker you live in denver right?? It is kindsa colder there most of the year... spring is stil spring though

Hmm... Very nice keep this up and i may not be able to compete...

I like that idea Al.
Would look especially nifty in your plexi case.

I am starting to rethink my wiring...now that I'm over halfway finished with the PSU...
I've seen a couple of rigs where the PSU is external to the case.
Just plugs into the back like all the rest of the cables.
Very cool.

Hrmhmmmhrm *scraches head* intresting i would however like the PSu to be inside the case.....

Thinking so too.. and after that i could say that my comp was decent enough for pictures... well what the hell am i waiting for !
I think we are going to need to have a photoshot in a while!!!

No no webcam, but i will be going on up to the university and be taking some very extremly high qaulity pics?? what say you to that??? this is something that will be delaid at least to this weekend though... I have to take finals this week, but this friday night i could take some pics and have them up by saturday...

I really need to clean my case up... it is very m,essy... and you can see it all!!! LOL anyways yes some pics will come soon... very busy these days...

Regarding the Heatpipe, i will take pics of it in my case, but i will not take it out... My version right now that i am using is very crude... the version you guys would make is very clean and nice... but yes i will get a clear shot or two or three of it... i hope to please!!

[clocker]

With the temps you are posting, crude doesn't matter.
I'm looking forward to the pics.
