Ok guys so Im a bit bored and now that the ambient temps here are low enough that were not using the coolers anymore I have an idea.
What I'm going to be doing here is opening up a portable evaporative cooler I have that we use in the family room during the summer. Its got a 20x20 evaporative pad and a 1000+ CFM 18" fan inside of it. Im planning to set this up for some winter time cold water benching AND also so that I can setup my main rig temporarily until I decide what im going to do about a case.
On that note Ill be pulling an old raidmax case out of storage to mount my 990xa-ud3 /w PII-925 and dual 460s and just cut a hole out of the rear fan grill.
Im guessing that I should be able to get maybe 4c below ambient temp with this rig. What I plan to do is open up the cooler and drop my 660GPH pond pump into it and run the hoses/power cord out through the side fill port. Quick, easy, simple.
Ill be back with pictures in a while.
