Excellent. Thanks. I want to try something for my first run at WC...so maybe this would be a good choice.

Whats a keg?

[newls1]

Excellent, thanks eric.......... Eric updated the review to also include updated internal pictures featuring a painted CCFL box to case color, back molex slot is painted to case color, and MUCH tighter flex-wrap used around the CCFL lights. Thank you Eric, for you time and patience, I really appreciate it

Whats a keg?

always wondered that too?? so what does it stand for ??

[SiGfever]

Great review Eric! :clap:

[newls1]

Whats a keg?

A keg is usually a round cylinder "container" that for the most part the holds a large consumption of BEER:up:


always wondered that too?? so what does it stand for ??

I named my cooler the "WaterKeg" for the reason being that it is a "container" if you will, that holds a liquid:) . I thought "KEG" would be appropriate...:shrug:

[Solarfall]

oh so thats what the mysterious KEG stands for.
btw newls1 since day 1 you presented pics of your waterkeg *external watercooling system* i have admired the quality of those cases that you make, top notch building mate.. :up:

[jabski]

the WaterKeg is by far the best / only (if you cant be bothered with time/cost to build your own) external system worth a look. Saw it a few months ago and have pointed alot of people towards it who asked about external kit.
top work newls1 ;)

[newls1]

Everyone, Thank you all very kindly, I appreciate everyones support!

[[cTx] Nooc]

nice temps newls1, props to you:D

[1badhabit]

Very cool system!! Great review also! 30c difference! Great results.

[Speederlander]

Everyone, Thank you all very kindly, I appreciate everyones support!

Hmmm....I really like the finished look of the external system. Very nice.

Could these be rigged with small modification to run 2 in series for added cooling power?

[chunkylover77]

Good idea. Could you make a box that would hold 2 pa120.3's? One for vid cards and one for the rest? I would be down for that.

[Bei Fei]

Nice, I may get that for my p180 since it has limited space.

[the highlander]

I like this idea.. all it needs is a set of quick disconnect connectors that do not need to drain in case of movement...

[Gamer67]

Everyone, Thank you all very kindly, I appreciate everyones support!


Do you ship to the UK ?

[rob[GL]]

Uh... Might just be me... But I'm scared by the fact that it's zip-ties holding the hoses onto the barbs...

[ineedaname]

wow that's one sweet keg.

[sbinh]

Sorry if I say something wrong.... but look at the CoreTemp pix, I cannot tell if that temp was at loaded or idle stage..... Top one can be @ loaded, bottom can be @idle ..... Need additional screenshots for clarification.

I saw your 1st pix in Liquid Cooling sub-forum .. Must admit that WaterKeg look awesome ... Nice design .... a little big though .. but that's good for cooling big rad.

Wow .. with that big WaterKegIII, who need Full Tower case :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[k0nsl]

I thought "KEG" would be appropriate...:shrug:

Absolutely. I understood it the first time I saw it - because I knew what 'keg' means. ;)

Good work!


;2326104']Uh... Might just be me... But I'm scared by the fact that it's zip-ties holding the hoses onto the barbs...

I used to run my system without any clamps, zip-ties or anything for about one year. Zip-ties work excellent and is quite secure.

[rob[GL]]

Maybe I'm just a huge wimp?

=)

[newls1]

Thanks everyone for your continued support! I really appreciate it.

[newls1]

Good morning everyone. Working on several new ideas/plans. HAve been trying to design a plexi-glass / lexan case, plus other design combos. I have my house on the "Market" now, and as soon as I can sell it, that will give me the needed funds to continue with some really good R/D:) I just need everyone to "pray" that I sell this house soon, with the "housing market" the way it is, it is going to be a tough sale:( . Thanks again for all your on going support, and look forward to showing you some future work.
Take Care

[Timbosan]

awesome name for a piece of equipment :) Zip ties holding the hoses on are fine, you could use metal automotive hose clamps for added security :)

[alpha0ne]

Looks expensive but nice :up:

I would have used 3/8 tube

[railmeat]

nice work

alpha1--3\8 tubing in a enclosure that size is pointless. 1\2 ftw!

[alpha0ne]

nice work

alpha1--3\8 tubing in a enclosure that size is pointless. 1\2 ftw!

Care to explain why as there would be no more than ~ 1/2C difference

[newls1]

IF it looks expensive, then I did my job right! That way when a potential customer sees the final price, they are very happy:p: Also, I dont understand why you would use 3/8 tubing:shrug: why induce an added restriction? 1/2 all the way!

[T_M]

The review was a bit brief.
Does the unit come with tubing uncut in order for the length of tubing between waterkeg and blocks to be customised? etc

[Nosfer@tu]

Do you ship to the UK ?<---------

[The_Beast]

nice waterkeg and a good review

[Big Myke]

Where can I get those molex connectors that are framed in a backplate? It also looks like all the fans, pump, light are wired together to a fanbus/junction box. Anyone know where you can buy a fanbus? :up: I've looked everywhere.

[IronWarrior]

I like to see more pictures and specs please.

[jasonelmore]

How about a price??? I even emaild your website asking and have'nt recieved a reply. I'm wanting to know the price of the case only and the whole shi-bang

[chunkylover77]

I believe he is no longer making these. Petra's had a link to buy it I believe.

[newls1]

hey guys.....Sorry for not returning emails. I had to stop making these as my case builder went out of business. I now have no metal workers in the area so im at a loss right now. I apologize, and being that there really isnt ANY PROFIT to be made in making these, I had to revert and try something else.........In now in school for EMT/Paramedics and I even have my MID_TERMS on Saturday 2/14/09, so im busy about 10 hours a day studying all this stuff. Thanks

[Leeghoofd]

25°C difference is a bit too much to my liking, was the TRUE well mounted ? Which fan was used ? Temps taken after how many mins hours of prime or whatever program was used to stress ?
