well no pic so a thousand words will have to do
Well my setup is just plain old danger den stuff a mase3 for my cpu and their GeForce 4 block. but the cool part was the radiator I know the radiator is not the sexy part of a w/c system but I was pretty proud of it. I started with a transmition oil cooler I got from auto zone for 15.00. So a lot of work needed to be done as it was just a 4 pass radiator with no shroud. So I went to the hardware store picked up some sheet metal, I had some left handed cutters so I thought I would be in good shape. So I get to cutting and right away I start running into problems that sheet isn't easy to work with. Several bad cuts later and even using the chisel a few times I had something that not only looked bad but didn't even function real well (leaks everywhere). Finally I gave up and called a friend of mine who did duct work on home central A/C and asked if he had any tips and maybe tools I could borrow. He told me to come over and we would see what could be done. After explaining what needed to be done he eventually at some point in my sad tale he said he would take me to a guy that does custom duct work that he needs some times. I was amazed at how much equipment this guy had to work with this stuff he had a sheet metal break and a cutter as well that you just stepped on a pedal and in a big scissor motion it would cut cleanly a whole sheet. Needles to say he built a cool little enclosure that houses 2 120mm fans and room for up to 4 of the radiators that I purchased from auto zone so I could cool a whole lot more. All of the seams interlocked to prevent air loss and all of the edges were cut clean and straight. Obviously this is a separate unit from my PC but I have a mini tower so no room to mount inside anyway. Anyway aside from the temperature difference 10c from an hcc-001 heat sink which was a pretty good hsf (just so dang loud!) was the noise I had a lot of fans going to keep temp where I wanted and I shut them all down. I still have one fan on the side that pumps air in but it is quite and runs at a low rpm. I know not everyone knows someone who can do this but he only charged me 10.00 american and that aint bad.
