Built a rad, what do you think ?
It's cooling the cpu the vga and 2 hd. Cpu (P4 2Ghz) @ idle is 32 C. I made it out of copper tubing and couplings from the diy shop. No soldering involved, hardest work was sawing the tubes. Only fan left is a temp controlled papst in the psu running at approx 1000 rpm. Follow this link to see some pics.

Neat ! Fanless, efficient.
What do your wife / relatives think of this big, copper thing ? If you want to go to extremes you can get a fanless PSU... |

I like it. It' a very clean job, no ghetto stuff at all...
For a stationary system, its great. Not so easily portable to lans. And, fanless is the word!!!

That is frickin' sweet. If you had used copper U shaped connects you could have probably put twice as many vertical channels in it and forced the water to take a longer route through, though it would take one hell of a pump to power it! Nice and efficient, dude. You might consider hanging it on your wall as modern industrial art.

I know...
Put the radiator into a waterfountain wall thing. So like, water flows over the radiator Only noise would be white noise. But you may have to use the bathroom all the time

Nice.
If you could solder aluminium fins on that, you'd have a high performance radiator. Start collecting those cans of pop! |

20 cents worth of solder would have sealed much better then those compression fittings. Not to mention cost! Around here I pay about $1 per fitting.
Still very nice work. |

Noisecontrol case
Great rad!
But I'm as interested in your Noisecontrol case - seriously thinking of getting the same one with the 'whisper box' thing. What do you think of yours? Ta! |

I don't own any stock in Noisecontrol, but I recommend buying a powersupply from them as well. Same quality, some effect on noise. Pity the cases don't really look so good, but next time I will buy one in black, which will look better then the generic gray that was available when I bought it. |

Gerwin - thanks for the info, I've ordered a case. Looks big enough to fit my first watercool rig...
