Hi all,

For the last three months, I have been using a watercooled system with an plastic toolbox for a resivior (holds about 10 litres). It works well enough. I`m able to get my T-Bird 1.4 to 1.65 (...and very happy I am with it too!)

And it`s very quiet indeed... The noisiest part being the hard drive & the rad fan... All well and good you'd think...

But, I'd like to modify the setup so that I could reduce the size of the res and get rid of the radiator and fan.

Now then, I've seen the posts about water chillers and they seem to leave condensation all across the pipes etc. But I still fancy the idea as peltier cooling the core seems a bit beyond me just yet...

So has anyone done, or got an idea for a tempreture controlled water chiller?

I'm thinking of changing the res to a smaller copper based box with a peltier attached to it to cool the water before it goes round the system again. I'd prefer to use a couple of quite low wattage pelts than one larger one, if you can get away with very minimally cooling those...

The pelts I assume would be voltage controlled to adjust cooling rate... Other than that, my head hurts..!

I'd like to be able to have water at about ambient temps, so to stop the condensation occuring...

I'm certainly not looking to mount this internally, but it's got to be quieter than the set up I have now, or else it's not worth it...


Your thoughts please...


Cheers!
