Hi all
I have a watercooled PSU, some pictures here (http://computer.nskjaer.dk), it is a Chieftec 340W. Now I am looking for a Antec 480W psu. Therefore I would like to see some pictures of it watercooled so I can get an idea of how complex it will be.
Pictures in generel of watercooled psu's are also very welcome.

www.zerofanzone.co.uk - Bladerunner did a watercooled power supply project, and outlined his entire process on his site.

This guy is absolutely incredible.

I have studied Bladerunners page (ofcause). I am not all to crazy about wirering the components, like them to stay in the print as I have done it.

Everything is homemade in my system, it is getting to the goal that is half the fun.

That is impressive indeed.
What is the cooling part exactly?
Is it compressor?

How long did it take you to build that monster, impressive, How do you take it apart, like the video card for example and what sort of overclock do you get..with that Epox MB.......:drool: :drool:

The cooling is a phase-change setup, so yes, it is a compressor.

I can remove the lexan and thereby have access to the inside. For removing the videocard I need to disconnect the tubing and unscrew is as normal. It is ofcause very tedious to remove the videocard because of the watercooling, but that it has always been. The blocks on the gfx can be removed easily, it is attached with 5 screws all in all.
I have not been around to overclocking yet, I will give some results when I have.
