    time to squeeze it all in. Chiller & Phase in one BFC

    So I think that is the name of this one for now. BFC (Big Fing Case) I have the mobo tray in and have layed it out 15 times to figure out the best air flow/room to put it all in. I am planning on the chiller w/temp control for the video (some day sli) so I don't have to over kill the insulation, and the upgraded mach1 for the cpu.
    I hope you fallow my progress (I am sure slow at that) and give any valid input as I go along. Again thanks to all of you who have taken time to answer my stupid question so far.

    Anywho here is a couple pics to get this thread going.

    To be honest, I'd probably whore myself out to have one of those monsters.

    Back on topic, since i'm a dumbhead, you're going to have to explain this to me....where's the reservoirs? Or are they double super secret and we'll know only when you tell us .

    Yo Ho for Ohio! lol Me 2 U C.

    It has a heat exchanger in stead of a res.

    I only paid $80 shipped off flebay for the case. It is a lot of modding to make it work for sure. But it is huge!

    Rotories work great, its just the noise that bugs people. If they work then they will do fine for a ss bencher.

    sure, t some people, other may like them as they usually pull a better vac. downside is that they usually are very noisy and get really hot. some people could prefer rotaries if they are only benching with them. probably not suitable for a 24/7 SS though.

    haha, thats what I meant but I thought that went without saying. Rotaries are awsome for performance they are animals. But I wouldnt want to run one under my table in my bedroom

    I am a long fan of quality reciprocating piston compressors. They are not that far off performance wise and just so darn practical <3

    exactly, i have a rotary that is fairly quiet and doesn't give off too much heat, but i am one of the few that has one like that.
