I've been lurking around here for a little while with a lot of interest in watercooling my PC, have collected a lot of great info, and have recently decided to take the DIY plunge. I attached a few images of my work in progress.

My case is a Lian-Li PC60 and I decided to design something that was totally self-contained and that would fit neatly on top the case. The design uses a 5.7"x10.7"x2" heater core, 1250 Eheim pump, 2 120mmx38mm Mechatronic fans and custom 1/4" acrylic case. So far, I have most of the materials, but still need 1/2" piece of copper for the block, acrylic sheet, tubing, fittings, electronics, and other misc. items I don't know about yet.

There's also a work-in-progress flow switch which I plan on mounting at the inlet side of the reservoir bulkhead. I plan to use an infrared proximity switch to "sense" flow on or off, then hook the switch into a relay circuit yet to be created. The box in the back is the space claim for the 40-watt power supply which I plan to use for fans, flow-switch. and relay circuits.

It will take me a couple months to actually fire this thing up due to my daily work load, but hopefully this will be one project I will actually complete (I'm optimistic). If anyone's interested, I'll post addition images as the project progresses.

Thanks for all the great info!
