My plan was originally an 18x18x8 inch case. The longest flow plan I could make ran all the long lengths and bypassed 3 of the short ones. Basically that means 150inches3 of H20 or 0.6 gallons. Not much but better than nothing. I was planning on having a radiatior in the loop as well the frame would just be an extra.

The loop would be pump, radiator, cpu, split between nb and gpu, frame, pump...

The idea being the hotest water is dumped into the frame where it has the opportunity to lose some of the heat the the outside. Then its pumped into the rad where it loses the rest and the coldest possible water is sent through the hardware.

I thought that the corosion would be mainly halted by an additive and if needed I could always have the case anodized. I'm pretty sure the anodization should protect the aluminum against any galvination.

Thanks for all the input.
