I too am curious about this flash beer cooler.

A flash beer cooler? Hmm....I wonder where the tap is on that rig? :D Hope he has that board well insulated as that flash cooler apparatus will definately cause condensation.

Just hope the beer isn't flat.
 
flash cooler

a flash cooler is normally used for cooling beer rapidly and no it wont cause condensation as already have one rig that ive een running for about 6 years now and never had a problem yet cheers
 
I hadn't heard about this type of cooling for computer rig before. I was looking around the web beer at beer flash cooler/chillers and I found an old OCF post showing your previous setup...

Is this the same unit pictured in your post that you are going to use for your new rig or will it be something new? I'm also curious to know what is the exact brand/model?
 
its a complete new rig still using the old one and its a home made no brand just what I considered to be the best kit for the money for a kick *** machine

That rig is beautifully clean; well done.
thanks
