Water Cooled Case Gallery

[daj349]

what are your temps and what coolant is that?

[Waymon3X6]

I think thats the swiftech Hydro-X mixed with distilled water (Just like mine!)

[FlimFlam00]

Yeah, its a Swiftech H20-120 Compact. Quite a nifty kit for the small case even though I usually go with discrete parts in most of my rigs. This makes for a clean build, which again, is great for a small case and for optimization of space/value/performance. I use Swiftech Hydro-X in this with a mixture of Fluid-XP+ [clear].

Edit: its around 32 idle/53 load

WOW some great looking rigs, got some great ideas for some upgrades. Here is my Mountain Mods UFO Horizon case. It's been through a few biulds but I luv the dam thing, it's been a great case, an so easy to work on with the horizonal Mobo tray.

Why is your reservoir external? Other than that, it looks good

I would think that it makes for easier fill-ups and less chance of leakage into the computer case ... I like the idea of external reservoirs ...

[Clue69Less]

Hey, I like the external res. Adds color. The whole rig looks mighty fine!

Ha ha ha...

reminds me of


nice build!

Thanks ya all, I wish my wife liked it as much.....LOL I found out in other rigs I had that the more fluid you have the slower heat soak becomes an issue and there outside the warmth inside the case, so at the time those were the largest resevoir availible (250cc) and yes it very easy to fill and work on. and they would not fit in case anyways, I ran out of room...LOL each loop holds over 32oz of fluid. I also included a night shot.

Just finished my waterbox plus over the weekend, currently still bleeding to get rid of the tiny bubbles. May change my videocard once the Asus 3870X2 Top comes out or if the 4870's beat it to market.

I've made up my mind after looking at the pics you posted....U2-UFO Duality front with horizontal mobo!!!

Qwik, If you changed the mounting orientation of the pump for the video cards to vertical, you could eliminate that loop-d-loop.

I tried that and I had no room it is very tight in there, the 5 HDDs are right there. might move pump all the way to other side next to other pump.

@pvtdonuts - That is one awesome rig

[pvtdonuts]

any problems getting room temp ½" ID tubing over them or did you have to use the hot water trick?

[pvtdonuts]

I'm actually using 7/16 tubing and even with that all u need to do is wet the barbs alittle and they slide right on, getting em off is pretty tough b/c of the ridges, but thats why I dont use clamps or zipties this time around. The barbs look really nice too, with 1/2 i think they could slide on very easy

This will sound wierd lol, but I sometimes use a waterbased lubricant (yer laugh all you want guys)

**Head out of the gutter yet??**

and that lets it slip right over the barb.

**No didnt think so, wont be now.**

And its usually a bit easier to pull off again aswell..

used astroglide all the damn time getting tubing over my d4, that was always harder than it ever should be. just don't tell my ex that she always was wondering why the bottle moved around

[Shocker003]

Upgraded my loop and motherboard . I ain´t good with modding.
