I'm looking to build a new water chiller out of a window AC that I can run 24/7 (opposed to 4 hours like the one I have now). I'm going to be cooling my CPU and Video card.
__________________________________________________ _________ I'd like my water temps to be 0C, but the lower the better (that goes without saying ) Will a 5,000 BTU be enough? About how long will the water take to get cold? Can I use 2 or 3 120CFM fans instead of the fan the comes inside the Window Unit? Am I going to kill myself or start a fire, or get hurt? Do I just use the controls on the window unit to run it on high speed all the time? __________________________________________________ _______ This is what I was planning to get - -5,000 BTU window unit AC,(6000BTU if needed) -pipe bender -cooler, or 2 rubbermaid containers, one bigger then the other and sparying insulation between them. -Insulation for hose, waterblocks, and whatever else needs it. -Windsheld wiper fluid and gas line antifreeze. This is what I alread have- -Clearflex hose -Swiftech MCW5000 water block with custom mounting hardware. -Swiftech MCW50 water block. Any tips, suggestions, ect would would be greatly appresheated (<- I live for the day forums have a built in spell check ) Thank You.
