Antec IN CASE watercooling

[oc jason]

if i use a in case watercooling setup. using a antec sx1040 what woudl be a good all in one setup to go with, also i wanna run this off of the PS that the case runs off of. Case will also contain 2 12in cold cathode tubes.

my reccomendation is to go with a self made kit....
this is something what you will need
a waterblock- i reccomend a Gemini Spiral Block its $39 at www.case-mod.com

a radiator- i reccomend a heatercore from an F series from like the 80s but if you cant get one of those go with the DD cube from www.dangerden.com

a pump- personally i am using an Ehiem but for really cheap you can get a Via Aqua pump from www.ffexpress.com but it requires a reservoir.


a reservoir- any plastic container will work...you could even make one out of plexiglass

tubing, hose clamps etc.- a trip to home depot or the like will do

here is a link to a helpful article.

click on page two to see the rest.

Its clean and looks good but doesnt cool very well 48C under full load.. I was getting 55C with air cooling.. My room is fiarly warm. Im building a bracket now for the Max performance radiator from luefin.. it will be made from aluminum and ill polish it. That with a 156 watt pelt should cool fairly nice.

www.arenacomputers.com did my window.. it is custom.. he has done some on the shape of states. The fans are blowing out through the radiator. My temps arent bad but not as cool as I had hoped. If you go to Arena's website and check out his case gallery you will see alot of antecs with that window. You can send him your side and he will cut and install it for you. Oh and im using a 400Watt PS.
