    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

    A keg is usually a round cylinder "container" that for the most part the holds a large consumption of BEER

    I named my cooler the "WaterKeg" for the reason being that it is a "container" if you will, that holds a liquid . I thought "KEG" would be appropriate...

    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.

    Hmmm....I really like the finished look of the external system. Very nice.

    Could these be rigged with small modification to run 2 in series for added cooling power?

    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...

    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

    Absolutely. I understood it the first time I saw it - because I knew what 'keg' means.

    Good work!

    I used to run my system without any clamps, zip-ties or anything for about one year. Zip-ties work excellent and is quite secure.

    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
