custom tanks
I've been using a reserator for about a week now and have been really impressed with how easy these things are to use.
I'm cooling the cpu, video card and hard drives (using a dual silent star box).
(now looking for a northbridge cooler and also looking for water cooled power supplies)
Unfortunately i have too many pc's in my 19" rack to cool each of them with a reserator so I'm thinking about having a custom tank built that will mount on the side of my 19" rack.
The dimensions of the tank will be 1" x 26" x 60"
The cubic volume of the tank will be about 25 liters plus the piping etc.
This compares with the Zalman reserator at 2.5 liters.
I'll probably be cooling 4 pc's (using 4 independant pumps) thinking of using submersible pumps but then I'd need to drain each time I replace a pump so maybe not worth it - might be better to mount them on the outside with a stopcock feeding each pump about every 7 inches apart for each pc (they are mounted in 4 ru cases).
Has anyone seen something like this before?
TIA,
Dean
