Excellent. Thanks. I want to try something for my first run at WC...so maybe this would be a good choice.
Whats a keg?
Excellent, thanks eric.......... Eric updated the review to also include updated internal pictures featuring a painted CCFL box to case color, back molex slot is painted to case color, and MUCH tighter flex-wrap used around the CCFL lights. Thank you Eric, for you time and patience, I really appreciate it
always wondered that too?? so what does it stand for ??Quote:

btw newls1 since day 1 you presented pics of your waterkeg *external watercooling system* i have admired the quality of those cases that you make, top notch building mate.. :up:
the WaterKeg is by far the best / only (if you cant be bothered with time/cost to build your own) external system worth a look. Saw it a few months ago and have pointed alot of people towards it who asked about external kit.
top work newls1 ;)
Everyone, Thank you all very kindly, I appreciate everyones support!
nice temps newls1, props to you:D
Very cool system!! Great review also! 30c difference! Great results.
Hmmm....I really like the finished look of the external system. Very nice.Quote:

Good idea. Could you make a box that would hold 2 pa120.3's? One for vid cards and one for the rest? I would be down for that.
Nice, I may get that for my p180 since it has limited space.
I like this idea.. all it needs is a set of quick disconnect connectors that do not need to drain in case of movement...

wow that's one sweet keg.
Sorry if I say something wrong.... but look at the CoreTemp pix, I cannot tell if that temp was at loaded or idle stage..... Top one can be @ loaded, bottom can be @idle ..... Need additional screenshots for clarification.
I saw your 1st pix in Liquid Cooling sub-forum .. Must admit that WaterKeg look awesome ... Nice design .... a little big though .. but that's good for cooling big rad.
Wow .. with that big WaterKegIII, who need Full Tower case :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Absolutely. I understood it the first time I saw it - because I knew what 'keg' means. ;)Quote:

Thanks everyone for your continued support! I really appreciate it.
Good morning everyone. Working on several new ideas/plans. HAve been trying to design a plexi-glass / lexan case, plus other design combos. I have my house on the "Market" now, and as soon as I can sell it, that will give me the needed funds to continue with some really good R/D:) I just need everyone to "pray" that I sell this house soon, with the "housing market" the way it is, it is going to be a tough sale:( . Thanks again for all your on going support, and look forward to showing you some future work.
Take Care
awesome name for a piece of equipment :) Zip ties holding the hoses on are fine, you could use metal automotive hose clamps for added security :)
Looks expensive but nice :up:
I would have used 3/8 tube
nice work
alpha1--3\8 tubing in a enclosure that size is pointless. 1\2 ftw!
Care to explain why as there would be no more than ~ 1/2C differenceQuote:

Does the unit come with tubing uncut in order for the length of tubing between waterkeg and blocks to be customised? etc

Where can I get those molex connectors that are framed in a backplate? It also looks like all the fans, pump, light are wired together to a fanbus/junction box. Anyone know where you can buy a fanbus? :up: I've looked everywhere.
I like to see more pictures and specs please.
How about a price??? I even emaild your website asking and have'nt recieved a reply. I'm wanting to know the price of the case only and the whole shi-bang
I believe he is no longer making these. Petra's had a link to buy it I believe.
hey guys.....Sorry for not returning emails. I had to stop making these as my case builder went out of business. I now have no metal workers in the area so im at a loss right now. I apologize, and being that there really isnt ANY PROFIT to be made in making these, I had to revert and try something else.........In now in school for EMT/Paramedics and I even have my MID_TERMS on Saturday 2/14/09, so im busy about 10 hours a day studying all this stuff. Thanks
25°C difference is a bit too much to my liking, was the TRUE well mounted ? Which fan was used ? Temps taken after how many mins hours of prime or whatever program was used to stress ?
