Ok, at first I was just asking quesitons here and there, thinking about it. The oil PC interested me because it consisted of a PC with almost 0 dba. But considering the hassle and all, I thought of updrading my air cooling. Then I calculated that a BT for my cpy, a artic sliencer for my gpu would cost me a lot and that my psu would still make a lot of sound.
So then I thought, maybe I could use oil for my psu (taking the fan out) and buy a low dba cooler for my cpu (maybe a BT, depends of my budget, or else Artic Freezer 64). Then add 2 low dba case fan (cooler master 13dba 120mm). Then if my stock X800 cooling is the only thing above 20 dba, I would buy a Artic Silencer which is supposed to be good and quiet.
Now I'm at the stage that I'm waiting for my credit card (should arrive any day now) to buy my parts off newegg. So I prepared my psu right away. I took the fan out and stuck it in the only leak proof container I had at hand. A picnic cooler >_>. Not the greatest at all since it keeps all the heat inside.
Tomorrow I will go hunting for a small rectangular aluminium leak proof container at master vox. Because right now my psu temp is 24C over it's limit ! (74C, the max is supposed to be 50C lol). By having a aluminium container, it should be enough to spread the heat out and keep to psu and it's oil under 50C.
(It's been running for 6 hours at 74C now .. I'll let it rest for the night and try to get my hands on an aluminium box soon.)
This way not only will I be able to fit my psu back into my tower, but it will be running at acceptable temps and soundless ! Then I would buy 2 13dba case fans + what ever cpu cooler my budget allows me.
Do you guys have any suggestions ?
