redleader: the reason i chose the tank was, i couldnt find any copper pipe i could use at all. I went to several hardware stores but none except one had any and the one only had 3 meter long pieces that were 10 euros. and i read in that hexus.net link terra mex posted before
"Initially I used an underground copper pipe, but this tuned out to be too small, and the water in the system warmed up after a few hours under heavy load. So I decided overkill would be better!".
Of course i dont know exactly what kind of pipes he used but i just decided if it works for bladerunner and that guy it'll work for me.
Ben: ah, ok i understand! Thanks for the pic.
Now the problem is condensation. I calculated the dew point in my room at an average of 9-10 degC. I dont exactly know how cold the water from the tank will be, but probably below that.
Insulating the tubing is no problem at all but what about the waterblocks ?
