Cooling Tower v2 nears completetion....

Hellion_Prime · 08-24-2002, 09:50 AM

Well, I've ditched the AT tower I had my watercooling gear in and built my own enclosure. Pictures showing the work to date can be found here .
Here's a general rundown of the components:

Tank: Du-Bro 50oz r/c plane tank with inlet, outlet and fill fittings added

Rad: 9"x9"x2" dodge heatercore with mounting flange, barbs removed and replaced with 1/2" NPT fittings

Radiator Fans: Comair Rotron Patriot 24v @ 12v x4

Pump: Little Giant 2-MD-SC mag drive pump

All the quick disconnects are made by Colder, purchased from UsPlastic.com

Intake/Exhaust Fans: Comair Rotron Patriot 24v @ 12v (to be added)

The fanbus at the front of the enlosure is a standard switch panel for use in marine equipment. Cost about $20, and was well worth it.

Comments? Anybody? =)

So let me get this straight. Your going to have approx. 6 Rotron fans in this setup? It's going to be cool, but very loud. It sounds like a nice setup though.

edit: I just saw the pics. That is one awesome setup. I love the home built encloser

You should paint it black

Yeah, 6 Rotrons. Its actually pretty quiet. And I've got some accustic foam I can put in the shoud to make it even more quiet should the need arise. Glad you like it. =)
