A photo of the nearly finished shop computer. In front you can see the radiator with two 120mm fans with 3/8"id inflow and outflow hoses connected and functioning. To the right is the reservoir/pump housing - the system pumps 610 gallons per hour (excellent for extreme temperatures). Through the Plexiglas is the CPU with water-block attached. Not seen in the photo is the RAM cooler. Above the radiator is the fan/temperature controller.
The entire system is one unit and completely portable - even capable of wi-fi for 'on-site' use when away at a job-site. Each hose is clamped tight with automotive quality hose-clamps to ensure a leak-proof system no matter what environment it is placed. As we speak there is liquid coursing through it's UV-reactive veins and there are no signs of failure.
This is where the system's life-blood will be held - a 4" x 14" PVC pipe with sealed threaded end caps.
The entire reservoir with hose fittings and water-tight cap (above)
CPU water-block with hoses connected.
RAM cooler - hoses connect and allow to flow through the pipe to assist in heat-dissipation.
Building the mounting bracket to attach reservoir to the computer case.
The innards - you can see the RAM cooler here. Wires aren't yet hidden, but she's getting there!
So far, and without further testing the system is running approximately 10C cooler with liquid than with air only. More testing to come.
On a different note: The new website is nearing launch. We have a few paragraphs to write up and a page or two to add. Once the site is launched we will begin shooting our first video.
Alright! Enough of this boring stuff!
