Hi

I'm fairly new to this forum and to water cooling in general. I built my first loop just two weeks ago (ford heater core, pond pump and apogee gt).

I'm also doing some research into diy water blocks. I had this crazy idea for a portable, self-contained evaporation cooling system for a near silent PC:

First build a standard open-case frame using 2x4's:

Next, mount your hardware in the typical open-case setup, adding in the evaporation cooling setup:

The picture is fairly self-explanatory. The sideways lines in the tube is to dampen the sound of falling water. It wont be pretty, but will it work? If the tube is tall enough this should provide enough cooling for all the components...no?

I'm still very new at this so any ideas would be welcome.
