boredom - my water cooling

[Telexen]

I'm bored...so I made a *pretty* little drawing in Paint with the layout I'm going to use for my water cooling box, which will be made out of plexiglass. Don't nark my 5 minute Paint Job

I'm going to cut a whole nearly the size of the heater core on the heater core's side to let air come in through it. The 120mm fan on the other side will push air outwords. The tubes will enter the enclosure straight into the reservior, and exit in a hole I'll cut in the glass just above it. I'm also going to put a little relay kit in the bottom left corner under the heater core. The whole enclosure will be about 11(l)x8(w)x6.5(h).

For anyone who cares, here's the hardware I'm going to use.

- Dangerden MAZE4 waterblock (it's cheapest...I'm pushing my budget here)
- '86 Ford Cougar Heater Core (Autozone doesn't have a Chevette radiator in stock...this is close enough)
- Via Aqua 1300 water pump (370GPH)
- Watertight electrical junction box for a reservior
- 1/2" cheap tubing from Home Depot...w/c people complain it isn't flexible enough...I guess they don't remember what happens to plastic when it's heated.

Pictures to come as soon as everything comes in and I get it built.

I checked into a chevette heatercore at local autoparts stores, but they sell for $40.

I figure I might as well just one off the water cooling websites for that much, at least then I will know exactly what style and size I will be getting.

I'm also working on a couple of designs for my case, so I'll post some pictures too when I get it finished.

If the Autozone here would have had it in stock it would have been $17 for me...but it's like $26 if I have to order it online...plus shipping

check out these...they're a little smaller but they're basically modified Chevette heater cores with the barbs already put on them
