the air flow after the cooler will be directed at the chimney base as it has a area that will vent the warm air produced by the cooler to the atticQuote:

the underfloor cooler is done just have to do the assy & seal work all but a 1/2 hour of work on the steel box cooler
, next up on the build is the External reseviors & pumps housing ,looking at constructing a (10" X 12" or what ever size i need for all the items ) black lexan box build (AL channels & angles will be the skeleton) to sit next to the PC , to mach the monolith black tower case i'm gonna use for the PC .I wanted the outside box soo i can easly sound pruff the pumps & have the pumps & psu's for them on a single switchable power
The box will house the 2 Iwaki rd30's, 2 power supplies for the pumps & the 2 EK Res400's
the EK res400's will rise from the inside back side of the box to reach the highest point on both loops to make bleeding & fillin' possiable
both res's lighted up with LED's with blue lites on a loop & red lites on the other loop
ordered the sound dampning from CyberDriud yesterday
got vibration dampners for the pumps . gonna dbb up this part as the Iwaki's will be mounted on a steel plate with dampners on the pump feet & the steel plate will mount in the box on another set of dampners
the box will also house the KazeMaster for in/out temps monitoring that will go on the front with all the switches / idiot lites
it will also have idiot lite for the blower with a single switch that turns everything on at once & then supplies A/c pwr to the PC that way the blower/pumps will be up & running when i hit the start button on the PC
comments & suggestions ARE VERY welcome
sealed up the rads with silicone came out clean looking & was the simple way to seal the air tight
not like anyone is gonna crawl under the house to look at this part of the build
Note the end piece with rads is removeable in case i need future maint . on the thing OR to swap out for them new Rad's that Fessor's has that just hit the market !
here's the airfilters for DA beast ! $8 a pop ! & best of all no duct work involoved OR needed just RTV'ed them to some thin plywood ends & will screw them down with a weather stripping seal right to the blower openin's
& they are no wider than the steel box with both in place on the blower
with the deep filters i'll get Great air flow in & keep the dust & bugs out !
now on to the Baffle Mo pix coming ,let me get back to work ......
Too Sweet! Great work, I am definitely enjoying this thread......:up:
Keep up the Great work.......:clap:
hmmm why not one hole for one rad and after that second"room" for other rad? I think that will be more presure that 2 holes
btw nice project ;)
on the wood mock up box .. I was getting more flow on 1 rad than i was getting on the 2nd rad ..Quote:

... by making the box Thinner / Longer & the rads right next to each other & with a baffle to "break-up" that area of high pressure . I found i could get an even air flow thru both rads
the silicone will hold those Rads in place thus you can remove the metal straps if you want to.

Airflow any less with those filters?Quote:

Excellent work. cant wait to see what sort of temps you end up getting thru this!
Very nice, I really enjoy this type of build log...great job!!
woot looking even better can't wait till shes done...
Want to do something like this so I can watercool my cascade. When I own a house this will be an inspiration for me :up:
see this type of thing works for you guys in warm weather.Quote:

if i kept my comp off then the water in the res would freeze, lol.
otherwise i would have some kick ass chilled liquid cooling :)
my plans for when i get a house is to drill a small hole in the wall just the right size to fit 2 pieces of tubing through, then i will have my pump, radiators, and fans on the other side of the wall.
then i could blast the fans as loud as i want for super cooling and still have silence in the other room.
something a tad easier to buildQuote:

I forgot to mention that Rad has the surface area of 4--Feser quad 480
woot this is a super excellent project grats on all of your success so far :)
Thanks for all the great posting and pics, I know it takes a lot of time. THis is great work, carry on!
One thing I may add is that waterpumps always push water up more efficiently than they can pull water up. If you have a well, you put the pump at the bottom of the well if it is >15' deep. (FWIW at about 30' you physically can not suck water because that much vaccuum will cause it to boil at room temperature).
Q?-> did going from your wood box to the metal box make it noisier?

NO CHANGE at all .... all get is a slight hum from the fan motor
Ahaha! this is awesome. Though I do wonder just how big the squirrel is that had this in it's cage, And whether or not it made it into a flying squirrel.
Just one thing- No K&N Filters? :p:
