Update soon :)

tnx

Looks beautiful so far :cool:

I have one suggestion though. That condenser looks very thick for just a tiny 12v 12cm fan. Maybe it's a better idea to use 2 at 7v in a push-pull config? A schroud could help too ;)
With the 2 fans I mean that you'd have a total of 3 fans, 2 in the front in push-pull and one in the back pulling air. It's just an idea.

Anyway, it looks nice and clean so far :)

The config with two push-pull fans on condenser won`t work.

Why not? If you mean it is better to have lower pressure than upper pressure in the case, you're right about that. That means that the two fans in the front would have to push hot air out, and the fan at the back would have to suck air into the case.

Can you explain to me why it wouldn't work? You mean it wouldn't fit inside the case or something?

This is 220V really strong fan, so no problem with that...

Hm, I read somewhere, that if you have push-pull fan config on condenser, it won`t help and it could make a problems. About extra fan that is pulling air from case it good idea.

Why ?

Because among two fans will be whirls of air, you will have much more noise of working fans + worse condenser cooling...Somewhere on XS was thread about that, I must find it for you :)

tnx

Sweet!:slobber:

Wow, this unit is awesome! What model is that Refco manometer?

Art. Nr. in Refco catalog: 4490631

I will never buy refco products again ever. Maybe it works for some but mine was really bad quality

I saw that you have bad experience with refco tubes, but i'm using a lot od refco tools and i can say that they are perfect...

And that manifold is awesome belive me, one of the best for me. :slobber:

tnx Pete :toast:

I think moonman already try his unit and he has -42 on load 7900GT. Mybe he will post some pics...

tnx

Bloody hell!!! What is he using to cool the ram with then?

I recently got told to avoid Nivida as some cards seam to be cold bugged!

That's a nice CPU cooler, this 1/5HP compressor is doing is job right :toast:

BTW: have a nive vacances
