hallo... I'm new to this forum.. and kinda new to pelt's and stuff too.. so after alot of googling and reading.. I figured out that I just as will should post some here.. just to be sure.. (yes I feel that everything I do can go wrong.. and I'm a realist.. cough)
anyways.. here is the thing.. I'm going to get myself a new case.. for my computer.. and I'm going to use peltier and somekinda watercooling system to make it all work... somehow.. soo... I need you people to help me out with some calculations and and tips.. ect.
My case is at the moment just a project.. that hasen't started.. its still on the paper.. so at the moment it is around 500mm high and long.. and 250mm width(yeah.. yeah.. my english isen't perfect..but you'll probebly understand
) and I'll be using the top of the case to cool down the pelts.. in other words at the moment the big thing that is going to cool down the hot side of the pelt is.. 500mm long and 250mm width.. number of fin's is around 16.. and they are going to be from 15+ mm high.. thats the idea.. at the moment.. the case itself is in alu. and will have plexiglass as a secound layer outside.. to insulate some.. might have more.. how knows...
Please look at the picture's.... (nice paint pictures!!
)
1st issue.. is how big should the Pelts be? (in Watts)
2nd.. how big should the big copper thingy that cools down the hot side of the Pelts be?
3rd.. should I use Methanol or just water with anti freeze stuff in it?
4th.. anyone got some tips with the cold air --> frost -- WATER!! thing(?) so that I don't need to buy new stuff everytime I let the computer stay off for more then 1 min..? (maybe I'll just put some legs on the case and have the pelts on the bottom.. of the case with a hole in the alu so I can see when I need to dry the case...
)
at the moment thouse are the most burning questions.....
pic info...
pelt 1: red thing on the top is the cooling copper thingy for the pelt.. and the 2 yellow thingys are the pelts.. I'm going to have some silikon(don't know any english word.. its so I don't get any water problems..) around the pelt.. and then the dark blue is a "small" box where the water and stuff is going to be cooled down.. this box is going to be inside a bigger box.. witch is going to cool down the air.. (I have a neat system for that)... o.. the very ligth blue color is the air inside the big box.. its going to have some big holes on one side where the air comes in.. and small holes all over the bottom so that the (hopefully) cool air comes out..
as you can see the secound thing is.. how the top is going to look like.. well.. atlast so far on the paper... witch by the way is going to be screwed to the other side of the pelt..(in a way..)
then its just the little box where the liquid(sp?) stuff comes in and goes out.. the red dot is where it comes in.. and the green is where it goes out... and that long thing in the middle is some copper that is going to stop the liquid(sp?) stuff from going right in and out again.. (it has to go around)
case1: ok.. this is somehow how its going to look... at last how it looks on the paper... the gay coloer(I can't remember the name of) is the copper on both side of the pelt..(the copper on the cold side of the pelt is not on the other picture.. I forgot it..
) anyways.. that is how I'm going to make sure that its under pressure... and the two small thingys in the middle of the copper is the pelts and around it in a very nasty green color is the silikon thingy.. and the light blue color is the liquid part.. box.. thats also in copper... and the yellow stuff is air..yup.. its my little air "system".. and the green stuff at the bottom is 120mm fans..
note......... should I put fans on the top of the case? I really want it to be as silent as possible.. but if I have to do it I will do it.. and if your wondering about the air system.. its just a plate that the air is going under.. and some fans that "pumps" the air around.. (fan -> behind the MB and all the other stuff -> cooling box -> main room -> fan.. and so on..)
and I'm going to make it as air tight as possible.. rubber around everything that goes out of the case.. so that as much air as possible stays inside.. and I don't want the air inside the case to go under 5*C thats not healthy for my HDD's.. some paper tells me.. but if possible the liquid stuff can be.. -xx for all I care.. as long as not everything around it freeze's..
when thinking about it.. I might get the chance to make my own power supply for the pelts at school.. and probebly some electronic stuff to show how cold it is.. and to steer the pelts IF something goes wrong.. going to take it out of one of the 5.25" bays(if thats what they are called..) with USB, Firewire, floppy, sound, mic, LED pwr, LED hdd, on/off button, restart button and maybe some more..
can't really remember if there was anything els.. so just ask if there is anything you people want to know.. and thanks for the help (if I get an..)
soo.. is this a good Idea at all....? (and my english is a little rusty.. so sorry about that... and that russia program diden't help me much.. got a little confused yesturday.. but that might have something to do with me not sleeping at all since early morning the day before.. (was awake from 11 in the morning the 31st.. to around 1800 on the 1st..
happy new year...
edit.. damn it.. pictures!!
edit nr. 2: uhmm.. about the pictures.. 1 pix = 1 mm.. like.. the case is around 500pix on the pictures.. and in real life they are going to be around 500mm.. if you know what I mean
Edit: ..uhmm, nobody? guess I'm not so patience...
can you people(gays/girls.. and maybe something in the middle :P) tell me if I'm somehow right about this... acording to geek.com a p4 2800mhz with HT uses 69.7 Watt.. hmms.. hmmss.. wondering if these people think I'm not seriuse... waiting unpatient............
