Here is my rig see what you Think.

This was my first attempt at watercooling and is a 1 Ghz Celron system not overclocked due to a crappy MSI MS-6366 mobo that won't let me get more than a 20 Mhz OC.

Nice arcsylver

Very clean looking.
Do you have an air trap/ reservoir in the top of your case?

arcsylver · 08-26-2003, 09:59 PM

At the time of that pic I had a dangerden res att he very top mounted with the cap through the case to the outside for filling.

Here is a pic of my full system running though it is kinda dark.

It cracked

Now I have tubing run out that hole to a 5 gallon tank outside the case and I usually have some bubbles trapped at the top of the tubing there.

But my temps have not been effected and I am designing a new setup for the new computer I am building a little at a time so this setup will eventually get revamped to be used in a server cabinet rack mount rig.

And yes I do plan to use copper tubing again in this new setup. I like the leak proofnss of it and the minimal amount of extra cooling it may or may not provide.

Very nice, you gave me an idea for my WCing setup. I'm new, BTW. I plan on going WCing soon for the 1st time. Was it hard to install the copper tubing? It looks nice and should insulate the heat and is more durable - but u cant see the water flowing, heh.

I bent the tubing by hand actually.

As for the water being seen, I didnt really want that look.

looks real good, what type of tubing is that copper "plummers?" tubing?

Not if you are Mr. Universe ho hum.

Though serously that must have taken a while I have those metal spring you put in tubing before you bend it to stop it kincking. Even just them alone are hard enough to bend (well at least the ones we have are).
