... you mean a briefcase PC right? Been done before, briefcases were all the rage two years back AFIK.

they don't have special APE 1800 brackets, but two sets of 360 brackets _should_ work.

basically, the TCS is a thermal fuse, placed on the processor heatsink. If/when it exceeds a temperature of 60°c, it switches off. Reset temp is 30°c. You put it inline with the ATX PS#ON lead on the cable from PSU to mobo. So when the fuse trips, the PSU shuts down immediatley.

That would be egay. You _need_ this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=58254&item=7504047768&rd=1 you will _want_ this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=12584&item=7504671874&rd=1 And you'll be dreaming about this...

what you need is a milling machine. They come in all flavors, from $300 (approx) standard 3-axis systems up to 6-axis CNC beasts for 100000+. What you need would be in the $4-500 range for manual drive, or $1000 or so for CNC. CNC is better, as its much easier to machine curves. What zero...

The general consensus here is that prebuilt, lowcost kits are well... carp. You'll get similar or even better temps with good air cooling, for a fraction of the cost.

Somehow the idea of using liquid metal seems a little... strange maybe? Off the hand, I know of three metals that are liquid at or slightly above room temp. There is quicksilver: Toxic, highest vapor pressure found in metals, and a denger with some other metals. For example, put a drop of...

Having some made would be one way, another would be getting two Y connectors thet go from one 1/2 barb to two 3/8 ones, and using them to connect two 3/8 waterblocks.

...which is why they come in that flavor (among many others) :rolleyes: :D

Those look like Legris products. They sell much better than what AC sells (metal with plastic retainer rings), or the full-plastic parts, at least over here.

I believe AC buys the Plug n Cool fittings from Festo, who call them "QS", as in QS 1/8 8 for a straight screw-in fitting for 1/8 thread and 8mm OD hose, or QSLL 1/4 10 for a long, L-shaped screw-in for 1/4 thread and 10mm OD hose. See http://www.festo.de for more info.

Well, you can throw that straight back at the seller (at least in europe). Or, try an Eheim Compact 300. Smallest WC/Aquarium pump I know of.

Thro that right back at them. Because of shipping costing thirty dollars, you will likely get a new one and keep the old. Why? Because under EU law, if the product is bought from a retailer, ynd damaged during shipping, and worth more than 40 Euros, the retailer has to pay all shipping costs...

No difference, really. Whet they differ in is restriction (I'm assuming you're talking about 2 or 4 parallel tubes) and bleedability (Bleeding 4-pass rads can be a richt b*tch).

It is conductive, but not at low voltages. I've tried pushing 2kv throgh one centimeter of AS, and got zero current.

try tilting the system while its running, that should force any air out of radiators and other hard-to-bleed places.

Baute is "Built", yeah, but built s in "he built xyz". What you mean is "Gebaut" Also, you need to add an "um zu" in the middle there, making the name "Gebaut um zu Besitzen", which is a lot closer to whyt you meant </language nazi> Cute mod, keep it coming!

A good compromise between Silence, power and price would be the Freezer series by Arctic cooling. It looks kinda whacky (imagine a fan with no housing at all), but is very quiet because of this.

Despite what has been said, Full watercoolers (GPU/RAM) for the PCI-E and AGP versions will NOT fit on the other type of card. With the AGP version, tha grapthics thip has been angled 45° relative to the PCIE cards, to make room for the bridge chip. Also, the voltage regluators have moved...

If someone makes this case, I WILL buy it... :eek:

<bones> He's dead, Jim</bones> The card is FUBARed, but at least you have an excuse to go buy a shiny new card now :)

the fan size refers to width/breadth/hight of the whole unit, so a 120x25mm fan is 120mm wide, 120mm across, and 25mm deep.

klowngoblin, you said something about using your PDA as an IR remote. What kind of software do you use?

Well, there is a commercial rad (Airplex 1800) for 15 120mm fans you know... double-side it and you have thirty... noise++

I've been searching the web for a free MP3 player compatible with my treo, but can't seem to find any. Do you guys knwo any such software? (Oh, and freeware, not shareware). regards, Alex

it might be that each of the four wet fans has a weak short, meaning it passes way more power than it should, but not enough to trip the PSU fuse. Four of those and a CC might be enough.

48 hurs on the heater should be enough to get all water off.

Contrary to what was said, passive watercooling while OCing is possible. I use an old truck radiator I got for 20 bucks from the scraüyard. Huge, but works like a charm. And yes, Watercooling is for people who play with their hardware (you dirty *******, never think that again!!!).

about the elbows: they have screw-in angle adaptors for the AquagraFX 6800 blocks, so that those point "inside" too.

you could get the Aqua Computer blocks with 3/8 barbs, you know... and they really are flat.

If you want good cooling with small tube diameter, go German. Aqua-Computer or Innovatek. Pricey, but very good performers. Also, Alphacool's NexXos HP block is very good.

well no, but there would be no threads about premods etc in said forum.

I think an advanced modding forum would be a good idea, too. Personally, I do "standard" mods, and some things you've never seen before with lab glassware and watercooling, and I'd like a place where I can post said stuff without it being smotherd by "OMGLOOKATMYCOOLCASEIPUTINLIGHTS".

I'd tile my roof if i had enough old PCBs lying around :cool: :D

Yes. As quiet as possible.

um, actually, dB is a logarythmic scale, meaning that the loudness doubles (halves) for every three dBs you go up (down). (all IIRC of course) So 9 compared to 50 would be like 1: eleventybillion.

no problem, as long as the res is einther closed (filling the system through an additional t-line), or the outlet is below the fill port.

AFAIK, Aqua Computer has a 6800 block that uses 10mm ID fittings. It's for SLI systems so, according to their web site.
