Hello people. I've finally gotten around to testing out my setup for my first watercooled computer. I just set it up for the first time, and so far, so good. There are only a few clamps on it in a few places, and only one or two areas that are developing little drops of water occasionally. After I play with it for a while, I am going to dismantle it until I finalize a few things with my design.

Here's some pics for right now:

Here's a kind of top-down view. The extra hands in the pic are my little brothers'. I have an Eheim 1250, 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD Tygon R3603 tubing, (2) Maze 3's. There's also a Y at the bottom and top of the system for fill/bleed/airtrap.

I was going to use a heatercore for the radiator, but I found this thing on a radiator for cooling the tranny fluid of a car. It basically has two copper tubes, one inside the other, with a gap between the two for fluid to flow. I am going to do some experimenting with it to see how well it works (I may also put some fins on it with a fan at one end). I just need some way to test it out.. I don't have my dual proc. computer yet to test it on. I also would like to have the cooling system and case finished before I get the parts for the computer..

Well, anyways, I've typed enough
