I've done a few googles but I'm finding next to nothing on the subject of prechilled water loops.

I always try and stay 1 step in front of myself in case I get bored (;)) vapo goes in on sunday and despite my interest I doubt I'll pelt my 7800s, I still think it looks a bit dodgy (like asking for a house fire).. I am interested in a near or sub zero prechilled water loop for them and the NB though.

2 questions..

1) Is there any point?

2) Anyone seen guides/examples etc?

what?

FFS at least I'm not a n00b asking if I could put my pc in a fridge.

hack a fridge to bits to chill some water maybe but not a pc in a fridge ;)

@marv yeah, I know I said I wasn't interested and right now I'm not but I know what I'm like and this does seem like it has the potential the turn into a fun cheap project.

Aside from anything I feel like I ought to be MAKING things more than just putting bits together. At its base level a water kit is just an expensive lego set but something like this is sooooo much more.

Just wait until sunday night anyway.. thats when things should get interesting :)
 
Yeah, just been thinking that, also where the hell it would all go. With the vapo underneth my pc will fit under the desk with about 4" clearance which is fine for the 120.2 to get some air but its not enough for me to go hiding half a fridge :D

I wouldn't mind using pelts to cool the water so maybe I can do something like that?

The whole sub ambient condensation thing seems quite an issue too, I could give it a go in the shed when I've cleared it out perhaps :D

Surely theres other places you could whack a chiller, just get a nice powerful pump and have lots of tubing :p

well I could put it on top of the desk assuming there's some way of making it small enough.
 
I don't want to sound like a snob because its really not that long since I was a beginner but I reckon we should petition for an "extreme" or "advanced" section in here so we can pick out interesting stuff from the avalanche of "how much vcore for my opteron" and "which heatsink is best for this" and "I can't be arsed to search the forum".

reading about 1kg heatsinks makes me sad :(
