thanks..I am going to remove the bracket in lower chamber in front of HDD case to place a 120mm in take fan....Antec should have done this
I have a 92 mm fan but would like a bit more airflow for the HDD
Spent some time today working on the case... :)
I decided to seal up the back grill that was made for the vga duct and the top 120mm fan hole. I decided that one 120mm fan would be good enough for exaust of the main chamber of the case since it would be on water. I actually got the idea from Ralf Hutter on SilentPCReview to control the airflow of the case and block out extra noise. As Ralf did, I used HVAC tape to seal the areas first then as an extra step used some neoprene (thanks to MickeyMouse for sending me a big roll) to further block in any case sounds.
I also took the time to flush out the Thermochill PA160 as per Maxxx's instructions . And he was right as the first few flushes resulted in cloudy looking water and I flushed it till it was crystal clear. I then screwed in the barbs but not all the way in, only as far as there were threads in the opening. The less restriction the better. Hopefully there will be no leaks around the barb area but if there are, the handly waterproof goo is ready. ^^ Finally for today I dug out some extra thick Neoprene that I got last year from k|ngp|n to use for mounting the AquaXtreme 50z Pump... as you can see in the last picture of the two side by side Neoprene pads, the small one is the one that came with the 50z, and the thicker one is what I will use to dampen out the vibrations...

where are people buying the neoprene?..I asked at Ace and they looked at me as if I was nuts
BTW..looking great
I tried to palce a 120mm fan in lwer chamber infront of the HDD...but you need to cut out the grill and then drill screw holes...too much of a pain...instead I mount a 92mm fan with nylon ties..Panaflo
once you are done I am interested in noise level as I am 100% convinced I am doing this...
gocchin thanks for your inspiration of a frot mounted pa 160 thats exactly what i did with my old fashioned stacker .
went from an exterior install to a completely interior one shortened my tubes got rid of the res and put a "T" line in and droped about 4-5 degrees (and its all your fault)
just kidding
thanks againfor the thought
tom
Looking good gocchin...
Should have gone with thin lexan IMO.
Thin lexan? What's that?Quote:

Edit: Your rig is awesome. I might have to take the dremel to my P180. ;)
Place near here has stacks & stacks of 2x1m and 2x3m lexan sheets...Quote:

How are things going..is the setup quiet...
any idea where in the US I can get neoprene
How loud is your pump?
any more pics?
I'm still waiting for my blocks to arrive from Petras... damn mail is taking too long. It's almost been two weeks. I'm dying to get this together as someone has already bought my old setup and U2-UFO... :)
oh sorry had no idea...
Great work! Nice and clean. What kind of blocks are you going to use?
It's all in the first post. :)Quote:

Sweet I've been waiting for some more pics. Please report your experience with Masterkleer as I'm about to order some.
I would be interested in your temperatures. I would like to know how well a single PA160 can handle the load of both a GPU and CPU with a lower speed fan.
And be sure to include more background poster pics of gomaki... :p:Quote:

Started measuring out the tubing yesterday and getting everything layed out in the case... I know people here like pictures so here are some more or the new parts while I get it all together....

Looks good so far. Those are really nice looking waterblocks imo.
