Actually I reassembled my first bong with some modifications of course!

The fan is mounted on the top of the bong. It's in a pvc shroud I made by cutting it off bong 1.0.
The bottom has a section of polycarbonate in place of the square knob in the screw in end cap. To the plastic, I glued 5 green flat face led's in series that make the water glow green from underneath. This makes it really easy to see the water level.
The third mod is the custom filter I made from two rings of pvc wedged one inside the other with some of the Mrs. undergarments stretched in between. This makes a great filter with no airflow restriction.
There's a cone shaped screen inside the main tube to make all the water flow against the outsides of the tube just above the air inlet, this quiets it down very much.
And lastly, I added a small piece of perfboard with a resistor on it to slow the Panaflo 120 down to 7 volts.

My temps went up slightly form the basement radiator arrangement I had before (expected this). It now runs 30C idle and 32C full tilt. Best of all, Momma is happy! (that's refering to my wife):D

Nice workmanship, and a great combination of pleasing your significant other while getting to build a new overclock related toy.
