Ok here's the deal.

I'm building a bong cooler, but i found some interesting parts while cleaning up my realm the other day so i enhanced the idea with a partial recondensation of evaporated water. Here's the plan ...

The whole system will be encased in a steel case with internal sound isolation and acrylic side door. The case dimensions are 1x1x0.3m (sorry i'm european).
The motherboard and the rest will have it's own box-in-a-box (acryl) and will be slipped in on the ATX motherboard bed from the top so all the connectors will be on top.
The bong will be 15x15x80cm steel tube with acryl front-side. Air intake with 120mm silent fan form under the outer casing which will be lifted 5-7cm off the ground. Spunge bottom will reduce watterfall noiz and a net-block with 2x2mm net to maximize watter spread in the tube. The top of the bong will U-turn back into another tube 5x15x60 which will contain a copper maze cooled from outside with a 5x5cm peltier. The "condensation" tube wil be lead into a second watter reservoair(spelling?) so that the actual air exhaust will be on the far side of the second reservoair. The outer case exhaust will have another 120mm silent fan mounted on it. Peltier's copper heatsink (i'm thinking of using my old Zalman CNPS6000) will be cooled semi-passive with the intake of the two PSUs (1 fot the computer and the other for the fans, UV, ...).
So the main thing is to have a bong and to condensate the watter back into a different resevoair. A low watter level in the first reservoair will trigger (i found a watter radiator level sensor from my old car) a small pump to transfer watter from the second reservoair ... which should pretty much cooled be till then.

So the whole plan is to make a bong, keep it pretty much silent and have a nice view of what's going on on the inside ...

I've been over "tha plan" like a kazilion times ... but if anyone has any ideas ... say it now ... I'm finishing the outer case at the moment so i still have time to make adjustments ...

And throw some general pro/con stuff in my direction ... let me see what you think ...
