good thing I save all my drafts.... hehehe

(as on [H] )

Water chilling is more or less the most extreme you can go.. I said this before and I say it again. I am of the opinion that someone running chilled liquid, is someone that is in it for the long haul.... they are not interested in FLASH-CLOCKS. ala LN style... and that makes them more extreme than all that has come before.

I found the easiest and cheapest way, though not cheap, to get a respectably looking high performance liquid chiller, is to do the de-humidifier conversion, as I've shown on my site. It is by far not the most powerful solution possible, hence the cheapness of it..... But if the cost of parts and effort is to be included in the performance equation, then you would be hard pressed to beat it. the box shaped dehumidifiers is the easiest. 98% of the unit as you get it in the box, is reusable in the converted form, basically all you do, is relocate the evaporator, so it sits inside the already there water-bucket. Insulate the bucket, make a lid for it and add a pump. I have gone a lot feather with the units I Produced, by adding PC controlled thermostats and fan speed regulation.I even went plexi glass on my last one... I'm sure people will eventually even surpass that, with some nice LCD displays in the front...and what-not.
