I have agreed with my friend that a radiator is the way to go. Anyone have a different opinion, please speak now.
Some components eg: ram, NBs, video cards will not be watercooled. Basically, what will happen next is to arm a computer with hardware, build the blocks, and watercool. We don't have 5 pcs so we'll just watercool one and then place a heater element to simulate the load of other computers. It is basically a scaled model. We are cheap bastards after all and will not afford more than Lm150 ($400) between us 3. Most of the

Still need more info. A school projects, but what are the goals? And what are the "virtual" variables. In other words what would this stuff be doing and what would you want it to do in reality?
So far what I got from it is you want to cool 10 computers with liquid cooling but you only have 1 computer to work with so it will be on a 1/10 scale? If so this is a good in way as it will be a lot easier to construct. The thing to remember though is you still need to think of it on a real time 1/1 scale. This I think would still rule out the bong theory.
If you are just going to use 1 computer completly throw out all given information in this thread for what to use! You should have pointed this out from the start. You can just use a normal heater core for the rad. You will not need a mondo car rad if it is just for 1 computer. Pretty much just build a standard water cooling system and then when you do the presentation times the numbers by 10!
For example if that heater core is 10x10, then times that by 10. If you had 10 computers you would need a rad 100x100 to acheive the same results as a single computer with the 10x10 rad! Then do that with all the numbers. If you have X amount of airflow on the 10x10 rad, then for a 100x100 rad you would need X times 10.
You are obviously not going to get real time results as adding more computers is a lot more involved than just multipliying the numbers, but if all you have is one computer to work with then thats about all you can really do.
