i decided to scrap the soft sided cooler idea as it seemed like it was gonna be a pita.
Here's what a trip to the store has brought.
One thing i am worried about is dirt particles getting into the loop from the cooler. As you can see in the pic there is some little specs floating around. I have rinsed off and cleaned the evap and cooler already and still it seems that stuff ends up floating in it and i dont want that stuff in my loop.
The better cooler definately helped drop the water temp faster.
What if i were to simply run my rad from my current watercooling and submerged it with the evap? Would that be much more inefficient?
I still need to figure out how to regulate the water temp as to avoid condensation. Can someone help me out and link me to a thermostat i could use or something? cuz im not sure what to look for...
