like I said, RDRAM is made to run hot. Still, I'm convinced that cooling one side will drastically reduce the other side's temps. Maybe I'll give it a go.
On another note, right now my pump, rad, res, is located in its own housing and is sitting a few feet away from my pc. There's probably 10 feet of 5/8" ID vinyl hose running b/n the box and the pc. This is KILLING my flow rate, I checked. (pump is a 1250) I moved the components out of the tower because things were terribly cramped inside the case, and the WC gear made changing out the drives a pain. Right now, I can afford take up all that space... I live in a 2br/2bth, 1333 ft2. I'm getting ready to move to DC though, into a 1br/1bth, 860 ft2 that will cost about 2.5x as much.
Anywho, I need to get it into one case.
Here's what I want: One wide case... one half will hold the mobo, drives, etc (the PC), while the other compartment will house all WC gear. I'll simply route the pipe around the back of the case and into the pc compartment. Any suggestions? I don't really have the tools to make my own metal case. Maybe I'll try a wooden one if noone can suggest something better. hmmm.
