Just making sure. Sounds like a great build!

I just used NPT without issue. The area of thread contact is so small that even though there is a difference in threading it works finel.

Thanks for the links to the fractals. I am a DIY kind of guy though. No way I am putting someone else art on my $1000 cooler

But it does get my juices flowing.

Looking amazing CD, but surely this is going to cost an absolute bomb?

I mean, $1.5k dropped on an external cooler? Do you really think you'll ever be able to sell it?

*CyberDruid* · 12-15-07

Yes, actually I do.

if there's somebody crazy enough to build one, there's most likely somebody crazy enough to buy it.

If you could charge ~$450 for a basic external cooler (single loop_) than i think this would generate my interest lol hehehe nonetheless i shall keep my eyes on this one

If you are interested in a single cooler like the Antesignani Kube but with one rad and a less expensive fan I am game. Parts would be in the $380 range (figure -$120 less for one less rad and $35 less for a "regular" fan) and depending on th level of finish labor could be as low as $150: which does fit your budget. I am confident I could put together a single PA 160 cooler and ship it inside the CONUS for about $450.

The Tank is a more long term project that will be shelved as Client work takes precedence.

Might I suggest THIS

for some of the internal cooling?

Pro:
Help keep little beasties @ bay

Cons?
May interact w/ some other metals?
Stiff as HE|l

As for the fractal, your 2nd one in B&W seems perfect for a WC case :

You may come up w/ something different but I don't think it will be significantly better.

Thanks! Considering how much this thing is costing why not upgrade to top notch tubing too.

Fans arrived from FrozenCPU today.

Madness....
