is there such a camera as this ?

is there a small camera that is powered by usb that goes inside a case and you can view the camera with software from windows ?

i was just think of this because of my new water cooling set up.

it would be easy to view the camera and check for leak's and water level's from out side the case.

just a thought mind you.

Webcam? Some USB CCTV cams are really small too.

However for both of these you'd need internal case lighting.

Chances are though that if you've thoroughly tested your loop then leaks shouldn't be an issue.

As above.

Probably just a decent webcam. Should do fine - just check if it's able to focus up close (macro ability).

You wouldn't be able to get a wide enough angle to see everything, or depth of focus, or enough resolution to spot a weeping joint. If you're that worried stand it on a kitchen towel - if it gets wet then you got a leak...

the xspc kit i got come's with a little led that fit's into the res and light's it up pretty good so the light issue is fine.

and idea's about a small web cam ?

i have never had one so i wouldn't know what to look at.

Agree.

Is it not easier just to have a window in the side panel ?
