Hey MattNo5ss, this thread has really giving me some ideas. I want to do something similar but do use the copper piping as tubing for a water cooling setup. I was also thinking of building a lexan cube to fit around the benching station to enclose it and drill fan holes in the cube for airflow to the motherboard and non-WC components.
I wanted to know if you still had some of the designs for your water cooling system. I have a few ideas of my own too but it would be great to see what other people of thought of too.
What my plan is was instead of having the bottom level of the bench station hold components, i would have it be drilled out. I would also put legs on the four corners and raise it off the ground 4-6 inches and mount a huge car radiator about 1-2 inches below the bottom tier of the station horizontally and use it as a passive radiator. This would work great because in theory, the enclosed benching station above it would act as a sort of chimney creating the natural effect of sucking up the cooler air from the floor upwards towards the top thus passively cooling the radiator. I was also planning on putting a low RPM 240+mm fan on the top of the enclosure as exhaust which would just accelerate the chimney effect.
Again, your great work as really given me some ideas on doing something like this on my own.
