Wouldn't take much to build a recirculating LN2 loop, and LN2 is pretty cheap.
Hi all, I’m just wondering if there’s such thing as a chilled water cooler (ie refrigerated?) my understanding is that the radiator cools the water rather passively, with the help of fans. My question is, is there such a thing as a water cooler that refrigerates the water to lower its temperature even more than just pushing it through the radiator?
If this is idiotic, I apologize for wasting your time, but I’m learning about WC and this keeps popping into my head... thanks
Thank you SS for both responses RE: cooling. I had already read your water cooling link and while I loved the idea, I was under the impression that it might not be possible for me because I heard those TECs required massive power (pls correct me if I’m wrong,) and living in an condo I am unfortunately limited to the size of what my breaker box can handle (I already had an electrician expand it as much as possible.)
As far as my plans, one machine I inquired about will be lots of fun IMO but will be my new personal machine. I’m gonna use it for full time heavy folding and business and coding. Then I’ll have one open air rig just for benching on a proper benching table. From here on out, I’m only talking about the benching rig. Eventually I’d like to be good enough at ambient benching that I’ll one day graduate to subambient.
This may very well be a temporary obsession, but I haven’t really been this obsessed with anything this much in my adult life, and I’m very grateful for this and enjoying it as much as I can.
PS I definitely appreciate your warning as I know this can be hard on the wallet. I have worked very hard for a long time and gotten very lucky and have reached a point of financial security where this can’t really effect my bottom line. This is probably the best way I can spend my money for pleasure these days IMO.
Best regards,
Rocky
Wow, I can actually theoretically pull that off. One question, approx how big is their footprint? Are they very large?
