I know about them already
But their cases are made for air-cooling solutions.
I'm already watercooled but i still have fans. I'm going to build a totally fanless and silent PC. I'm currently at design stage, but i need to know the availability of components. I have found everything i need (from HD waterblocks to fan-less PSUs) so all i need now is to design a neat case. Ideally it will be mostly clear and water pipes will be "integrated" - that means rigid. The overall shape will *not* be standard... The design is centered around an optimal water path and good passive cooling.

if U really want to spend more money for the pleasure - it sounds like U are a Real Modder so hav a look at the numerous "Clear PC build guides on the web" first

Hehe i am. And quite crazy too. (used a blowtorch to mod my current case - works neatly).

Lexan® is fairly expensive so Lucite (for a case would be better)

I had a quick look in the UK but still expensive http://www.diyplastics.com/perspexplexiglassprices.htm
Those are the prices i'm expecting to get.

Have you tried a Local "Do It Yourself store" we call em B&Q, Do it all over-here they usually stock acrylic in various thicknesses
Every last one of them ! When they know what i'm asking for - that means, seldom - they simply answer they dont know where to get the stuff and tell me to go to Paris (which would cost me about the same price as a full size Lexan sheet)

The Tube, Bends, etc is proving more difficult for me to find too
My ongoing quest also
I KNOW that they exist. I've seen those. A local aquarium shop has its water lines built that way. But they cannot remember where they bought the tubing !
