Water Cooling

Actually Lynx, I knew how your waterblock was configured.
What I don't understand is why the 90 deg. fittings are grafted in between the block and your bulkhead fittings.

Wouldn't the hose make the bend without them?

For the inlet, there would probably have been enough flexibility in the tubing provided by Asetek, but certainly not on the outlet.

In any case, I decided that putting the 90 degree bends in at that position gave me more options for the case exit points. If I changed my mind (whether by choice or necessity) then connections directly to the waterblock would not be affected.

And by putting a joint in the tubing it gave me the advantage of not only changing from the stiffwall tubing required for connection to the waterblock to softwall tubing, the extra rotation of two jonts at right angles to each other gave me the freedom to connect the tubes exactly as I needed them.

Performance is first, then noise, then last is looks, but looks are always good too

this is prolly a dumb idea, but has anyone ever thought of hooking your water cooler up 2 a sink?

i mean, you wouldnt have to worry about radiators or anything, or a pump failing....... it would be murder on your water bill i guess though..........

anyway, that would be a good idea though...that water is actually pretty cold.

and although its very cheap to install&#092;make, it would be expensive due to the high water bills.
