Now it isn't often that I envy people's possessions but every time I read this thread the thought enters my mind of driving down to see you, tossing a pile of money at you until you scream "Ok, sold":rofl:Quote:

Dude, this is insane! I just read all... 28 pages of this build log. Keep on chuggin' Sweeper!
Wow!
I tried reading through the thread, but how exactly is the cooling chamber going to work? I imagine pulling a vacuum to remove moisture, but that also removes the air (cooling medium via evap) right?
I am interested because I would like to try such a cooling chamber experiment myself, but I wonder if the vacuum would make chilled air cooling the mobo components etc meaningless?
i would think the best way to rid moisture is to put a little chamber of silica crystals somewhere and divert some air flow through them... sandwiched between some perspex with a few leds behind then could make for a nice effect.Quote:

Look at that.
Nice looking unit but after so much time on this thing, it would be nice to prove it's viability as a super cooler.
Hey Sweeper, justa quick nudge, any more updates as to the Uber System? Been over 5 months since your last post, wondering if everything's ok and if you've made any progress on the system? Is it nearly ready to fire up?
HAHAHA MovieMan name is Dave so that would be a match made in heaven.Quote:

I really appreciate all of you keeping this thread alive and for all the many compliments! I have made progress since my last post and when I find some time, I'll post some pics.
Thanks again everyone!
Please do post some! It looks astonishing! :up:
Where the living is easy !
It's all good

Xtreme Cooling makes even more sense in Florida. Enjoy your Holiday break (if you get one).
Good luck with the move :up:Quote:

Any more news since you've moved? I see your sig now shows Fla, gotta love it this time of year, esp compared to up here in the great white north. Hope it went well, and that you've gotten settled in, and maybe, just maybe you've had a little spare time to spend with your "2nd child" ;-) Looks like the last we saw of it, it was coming along quite well, and seemed (at least by the pics) that it was sorta near completion? What's the scoop? We're all waiting with bated breath, doncha know? :-)
Well, finally moved in our new house and enjoying the weather in Florida. The traffic can be a pain sometimes, but its all good. As far as the project, I haven't touched it, since the move. I really don't have the working space at my new house to finish building the project. Everything is still in crates from the move. I thought about disassembling the project and sell the components or spend more money to finish the last cascade, then sell the whole system. I'm not sure what to do with the project at this time. I enjoy spending time with my son and even if I complete the project, I know I will not make good use of it for extreme overclocking...just don't have the time.Quote:

Even if you do not complete the project, it was a good read! I know extreme builds sometimes fall by the wayside and priorities change. I see it in enthusiast automotive builds all the time.
It took me couple of hours to get thru all 28 pages.:D And it was worth it!:cool:
This is by far the most incredible piece of cooling i have ever seen.
That's just too extreme even for xtreme systems!:worship::worship:
Have you ever tough of writing a book about this project? This project has every thing, cooling, drama, bad ass components, pressure over the top, horror, kid's, comedy, wife's...
Too bad you haven't finish it. I was rilly hoping that you did.
nice
