I was sitting up last night unable to sleep trying to come up with some interesting new design ideas for a w/c setup when I thought of this... I'm building my new w/c rig in a YY cube and wanted to convert all 6 external 5.25" bays into one large acrylic/lexan resevoir, of course the only problem is if I add a chiller I would have to insulate the res to prevent condensation which would make an acrylic res useless. So after alot of thought I glanced over and looked out the window (lightbulb!!!) insulating windows. The idea is fairly simple a small space of air trapped between two pieces of glass insulated the windows in your home, condensation only forms in the small space between the two pieces of glass. So why not use this same principle for an acrylic res?? Make 2 acrylic boxes where one would fit inside the other leaving a small space of air around the entire res??? Of course it would definately take some patience during construction making sure all your connections were completely sealed (in both boxes), but it could definately be done...... The only question is, would it actually work???
