Lan and Watercooling

Lan parties and watercooling
How do these things get along? How do you move your watercooled rig from your home to the Lan Party?
Do you just pull out the tubes from your resovouir. . Umm *Sp* (tupperware where the water and pump are)
then take out the tupperware and carry it seperate and then refill the tank with fresh water? ?
Or am i reading WAY to far into the whole watercooling thing?

So how is it done. . thats all I need to know.

Well it’s not done yet, about another week before I get the graphic card in but any ways here’s my water cooled LAN box it will have a LCD 15" in the top cover after I get the rest done no res but I think the heater core should take care of any heat problems

NICE job yo!

if everything is water tight and in the case then its very easy to take to a lan. I found a handle very useful because it was so heavy but wheels arnt a bad idea either. I would recommend no resavoir sense it will save you a lot of back pain.

My kind of guy here, use the bags that the stuff came with to isolate the parts

I do that all the time.
Nothing wrong with it, it just looks cheap

Took my rig on a 2 hour ride to a LAN party w/ not a single leak. Buddy of mine had his Water Cooled computer in the car also. Not a single prob. My rig below.

Kudos to both of you (toxik and Stedeman).....nice jobs!!!

Here's a link to my associate's build of a liquid cooled LAN rig in a Chili case that redefines the ole' five pounds in a three pound bag statement:

when i had a res in my w/c rig, it did leak when i moved my computer to another room in my house. When i went inline, i could go to a lan party w/o anyproblems.
Even tried fliping over my computer, and nothing. u might want to bolt everything down though. Use velvet tape around barbs and use a hose clamp as well, and u are almost 99% leak-free

if use a resevor no vent seled unit

Build it right the first time and you don't have to worry about anything.

Don't be lazy.

Stedeman · Feb 10, 2003
