exactly like the title says, ill like to try to setup a dual loop with passive radiators. well mostly passive anyway. I was thinking a seperate box with them suspended in the center with a single 120 fan blowing form front to back. What rads would you suggest? this is all going to be done in clear uv acrylic, so looks may end up being important as well.

Also, what kind of pump for an extremely quite setup? ive got a small dc-pump(its at home so i have no idea what brand right now.) Ive used via as well as danners in aquariums, but have very liittle experience with them in computers :) i think this case is going to turn out dang nice, but god ive got alot of work


Just as an after thought, and ill probably go ask in the alt modding forum, anyone know were i can get uv acrylic at(have the case comming but need more:)) or how to make acrylic UV reactive

Why suspended? It sounds so complicated.

Most importantly get the box air tight and make sure the air that you blow at the rads actually passes over the fins.

i think i got the idea i want down......btw suspended cause the entire case is gonna be uv reactive acrylic.

My idea...Wind tunnel. Ill suspend them in a clear acrylic wind tunnel insode my component box with a 120 on each end, what do yall think? BTW not realy going for overclockability, this is more of a form over function kind of thing....with a boost to function being slipped in there to :)

sitting in clas extremely bored, i had an epiphany(you know the ones were the proffesor is discussing labor unions and your daydreaming about how to spend money on a computer insted of tuition)

Im going to suspend both rads in a wind tunnel......then bellow will be two res.'s . all this is going to be done in clear UV acrylic, but everywere you have a junction that would be an eyesore(a barb.....the pumps etc...) im going to use uv acrylic spray painted on the back to be mostly opaque and light it to give a faint glow from inside. The wind tunnel/ res will be clear to make it look like the rads are suspended above the res.'s.

this is all coming together to look good in my head, but i still need ideas on what rads to get. they can be as long as the base of a normal case, as this will be built as a bottom case that attaches to my main one.
