woo, i gave up on my chiller a while ago, but i was sick today so i decided what the hell, ill finish it. i decided to keep it ghetto, cuz ghetto cooling is the best
so i found a tide detergant tub, and cut a slot in it, then filled it with denatured alcohol/acetone mixture, for the coolant. the A/C is 5100btu for $80 at home depot. water block is a dtek spiral i got for $15, pump is some 100gph crap i got for $20 at OSH. soo it cost around $125 total, including tubing and random stuff
also i havent insulated at all really, so when i do that will prolly drop coolant temps by about 5c. im going to post more pics when its insulated and finalized ;)
on to the pics:

if u see where the top half of the evaporator is frosted, im going to duct air through that to get uber cold air for chilled air GPU cooling, through a duct with a fan on it :cool:
yay, im gonna update tonight when i finish insulting
