Hey guys, I am working on my own design for a watercooling rig.
I was planning on using acrylic but to save money I am thinking of fiberglass and just buy the fabric and make my own molds.
I am planning on a MoRa 3 or a Phobya supernova 1260 as main radiator....most likely a 120 or 240 for the cpu.
So it would go MORA>gpu>120 or 240> CPU>RES>PUmp>bak to MORA
There are two seperate ways of doing it. I was thinking a vertical layout like in the silverstone FT02 or a horizontal layout for a topdown view.
with the vertical option I was thinking of integrating it into my desk with the radiator seperated under the desk. There is a shelf between the drawers that is pretty much useless and would be a perfect spot for a rad. Or it can also all be in one case as well
I would also have fans in the case but they would be minimal with just a couple blowing upwards on the mobo for some extra cooling performance.
Now the other option is with a horizontal tray up top so all the goodies can be viewed at all times.
The MoRa would be upfront with a front facia made of all fans so that air can also blow on the front and back of the tray.
I want to make this as clean a build as possible. Not wanting to have tons of inputs/outputs since I hardly use them anyway as my PC is mainly used for gaming. and mass storage is going to be done on a server.
Anyways, any and all input is appreciated. I am going to start trying to make some models in sketchup as soon as I can.
