Water Cooled Case Gallery

Here is mine, that's a Vietnam Water Cooler, produced by Quang Huy Company, the only Water Cool company in my country

Corner: hmm you need to bleed that somemore, lots of bubbles i see...

But the bubbles make it a little more interesting looking than solid water

Actually how much performance is lost by having some small bubbles? Is it dangerous in any way?

[Corner]

Eh nevermind, that was when i first installed it, now the tank is filled with water and no bubbles

plenty dangerous, you never know when a certain ddc might get itself stuck up
if too much air bubbles in a loop...
also with air bubbles passing thru a ddc makes it noisy...
but i guess it would really depend on what pump he's using...

OK. I know almost nothing about watercooling at this point, so please have patience with this n00b, I'll be asking questions every so often

Eventually when I have money and time I'll watercool, have a worklog with a case mod for it, everything I already have some parts picked out too

Threads like this one are inspiring....

Modding this stacker to fit a pa 120.3 in the bottom took me way longer than I thought it would. The stacker's designed to fit a 2x120mm rad in the bottom so some metalwork is required, but that's half the fun, right?

With thanks to Clokker for the inspiration.

EDIT: redid my loop thanks to SDkevin's rec.



New image shows reworked clamps, and filter - since I had to drain the loop to rework the clamps, I have to filter the water again.

@vyper: re-clamp your T-Line, it is wrong! URGENT!

Edit: you shouldn't clamp at the tip of the barbs, I'm surprise that nothing is loose yet you should push the tube all the way in and clamp at the body of barbs not at very tip of the barbs

LOL! I just did the Same kind of mOdification to my Stacker, so it can fit a PA120.3 Used a Jig saw and soem other tools. It looks a lot more Home made than yours but it's clean and works perfectly So many ways to Work on these Stackers! Ive seen so many Different watercooling set-up in that case that i had a lot of ideas on how to mount things when i build my first WC set-up in it (Of Course half were nto good lol). Now im at my second WC kit installed in it and i felt like it needed some Hard core Mod's to fit a Nice\Clean WC Set-up! Ill take some pics this morning!

Nice job! Vyper!

[vyper]

@Patriote: yeah, can't wait to see the pics. Like others have said, the Stacker's a forgiving case, it'll take a lot of punishment and still come out looking halfway ok. Meanwhile, I've got a lot of work ahead of me redoing my loop on account for my n00bness.

I feel left behind . Lol been planning on getting my first water cooling loop, but our friend Petra still hasn't managed to release his DDC top! Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and go with the Alphacool top but I haven't heard too many good things about PPCs lately. And damn Vyper the PA120.3 is huge. Dunno if I should install on the top of the case or the bottom... The top would look better because it would hide the rad and have a shmexy grill on the top but the bottom would allow for easier bleeding because res would be the highest point in the loop and also allow for easier wire management.... Aaaahhh.... Decisions decisions.. Advice?

I agonized for days and nights about whether to go top or bottom with the PA 120.3 - it's beast sized and the stacker won't take it without some modding. In the end, I went with bottom because:

1) there's so much space down there - at the top you have to worry about the psu and wires, the motherboard and peripherals, as well as the stock 80mm blowhole. Plus that plastic cap (for want of a better description) gets in the way of things.
2) I wanted push/pull with 6 yate loons and there just wouldn't be space at the top for that much radiator
3) Small temp difference between the top of the case and the bottom.
4) Slightly easier to bleed

Unless you plan on mounting it on the outside on top? But why, when the stacker is so roomy?

[thunderstruck!]

Creidiki put hit 120.3 in the front of his stacker. Also I hope you fixed the tubing problem and put them all the way onto the barbs.

[ferrari_freak]

I'll prolly put it bottom with 3 Yates because I need the front for other things.

I just bought an UV sensitive Coolant from Tt, any pics of my wc comming soon

[_G_]

thought I would be posting picks today but instead I had to dig out a bad motherboard for rma
(no leaks, It just decided to die when it was hardest to get at )

Here is a pic I took while I was checking for leaks (also before I made the rad mounts :P )

crappy cameraphone FTW lol

Finally finished my intel setup.

While testing of cooling -


Completed, and it works -

Nice!

[flclisgreat]

thanks^

b4 anybody says anything, its a b!tch to do wire manedgement with 2 psu's(and yes the second psu is dusty, i know, you don't have to say it)

oh and this is my first WC setup, i need to take out a little hose to

[mz1482]

flclisgreat : Nice, custom bracket for AM2.

[flclisgreat]

thanks, its not the prettiest but it works

Here is a few Pictures of my Watercooled Stacker hopefully by the end of the year I will have the $$ for GPU block.
