If you where in the US I would direct you to the boating department at Wallmart. They have a $10 500GPH bielge pump that runs on 12VDC at only 1.5amps!!! I have one here and it pushes ALOT of water with just the comps power supply. I have yet to do anything with it but shortly I am going to make a water cooler for the motor on my CNC mill with it.

I'm in auckland, and I have found that the 'Building Depot' has 600gph pumps for around NZ$120.

Don't know if you have them in Dunedin though, we have 3 or 4 around auckland

Tux · 01-08-2002, 09:43 PM

yhea there are to find down here i have a small budget

Brad · 01-08-2002, 09:45 PM

why not a normal pet store? some of the ones here have pumps around $30

Tux · 01-08-2002, 10:48 PM

was just cating to a mate and he gave me a submersable one for free

but i dont know if it will hook up to the psu cose it takes mains power

Brad · 01-09-2002, 04:27 PM

just put it in your computer anyway, and feed the 240v out through the sound card ports, or a spare pci slot or something

Tux · 01-09-2002, 05:12 PM

yhea its got a molded fiting i would have to cut it off and put on a new one so if there was some way of puting it on the psu it would be better cose i would probaly forget to hook it up

Brad · 01-09-2002, 05:59 PM

yeah, that isn't too hard though at all.

you can do it to the psu, just open the psu, and look at the 3 power wires there, just take the feed off them

Tux · 01-09-2002, 06:01 PM

if i do that will it still work while the system is off though ?

Brad · 01-09-2002, 06:10 PM

yes, you will need to turn it off at the wall, but at least it means that when the computer is on, the water pump has to be on

Tux · 01-09-2002, 06:38 PM

yhea that might be an idea

ive just been thinking and i recon i might make a box outside my case for all the gear andhave the waterblock being the only bit in the cpu itself so i can take the waterblock off for lans and shit

Brad · 01-09-2002, 08:18 PM

yeah, have like a wooden base, with enough room in the front or sides for a radiator, have a pump somewhere else in it, have bolts running through it into the case (through the feet maybe)

Tux · 01-09-2002, 08:25 PM

yhea sandy down at the garage gave me an old oil radator for a mini he had siting there that has never been used):

Brad · 01-09-2002, 08:51 PM

sweet, you have a rad and pump for free.

now you need to buy a water block (www.stylespc.com John Styles is the best person ever)
