Nice work. I really like the idea of the condensation-free chamber.
Are you sure you wouldn't rather go with a tried and true Intel board and 4 gpus like I have? Can't get more extreme than this in the graphics world for now. Heck though, x58 will be out by the time you finish this with support for both SLI and Crossfire, so you'll have even more options.
Bright orange certainly has my vote.Quote:

Awesome stuff :) When you finish that, you will be benching and benching :D
I'd like to have the skill, patience and finesse to do 5% of all what you did. (And I am not close of being a n00b)
Extremely impressive and clean. This project honestly impresses me more than a 6 stage cascade...
I was wondering why u shot straight for 5%. :ROTF:Quote:

Thanks everyone for your compliments! I'm working on a few side projects and should have some pic results soon. The phase exchanger system is going to be a very tight fit, but it will work.:rolleyes: I had to move the Goliath system this weekend to my garage and this thing must weigh about 300 lbs.:eek: Hope when I'm finished, there is not alot of moving this beast.
My wife ask me this weekend....will the "BIG Computer" use alot of electricity? I told her....No Hun, no more than the small computer you use.:rolleyes: I will pay for that comment, once the power bill arrives.:shocked:
For what it is worth, I use a similar type of chamber to seal in my motherboard to prevent condensation. As a cover gas I used CO2, mainly because it denser than air and cheap.Quote:

During normal operation I leave the CO2 fill line open with the regulator set to about .5 PSIG.
The reason I bring this up is the pressure and vacuum you mention are kind of extreme. Square tanks such as the chamber in your build (or mine for that matter) don't react to pressure very well and tend to deform. I have pressure tested square fuel oil tanks with 1/4 in steel constuction up to 20 PSIG and seen temporary but significant deformation, just to give you an example of what can happen. The vacuum pressure too could have similar effects since you could reach -15 PSIG.
Just my 2 cents, you might want to consider skipping the vacuum and just trying a purge system with a pressure just over atmospheric. As a added benefit, CO2 has a better coefficient of thermal conductance than N2.
LOL. Yeah, good luck with that one.Quote:

Any more updates forthcoming? This has got to be one of the most extreme things I have seen anywhere on the net. Awesome job.
@ t_russell, where did you buy your E8800? Those are high volts for 4.15Ghz :p:Quote:

I want to test several different CrossFlow evaporators to find the best design, before I complete the installation of the SS. I'm afraid this might be a project that will never end. After everything is up and running, I will start working on the exterior of the case with view windows, exhaust fans and final paint.Quote:

Your build is incredible. Huge skill set. This is the stuff that wins competitions, gets sponsorships, and brings fame & fortune.
Fishtank PC ... not quite ice cold but certainly extreme !!!
It's all good !

OMG!!! Thats all I can say about this!
I have to ask, with the MoBO chamber being air tight l why not make it a straight chill box? Add some heat sinks to the components and freeze the entire inside of that chamber? Seems like with what your running would be more than do able? Though I am not sure about the difference in temps possible by a chill box
The cooling chamber alone, would not remove the heat from all the components. It would be like putting the components in a small refrigerator, which wouldn't work. The cooling chamber will help cool, but most of the heat will be removed with low temp liquid loop for the GPU's and direct die for the CPU.Quote:

Hope everyone has Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!:D
Have a safe one!!!
so how long is this project on hold till? I've been eager to hear more about it.
Lol he should be getting something going soon. I want to see the finished product!
