What do you guys think about this for a watercooling unit?

Its a good name but I'm not sure about the idea of all in one.

Lemme know please!!

No personal knowledge but here is a review. I saw it for $144.99 somewhere .. zipzoomfly maybe?

kits/all-in-ones are junk j-junk! i thought i told you that already? maybe not. whats your budget for cooling?

a good setup can be had for 200 or so i think, otherwise go highend air, TRUE 120.

if you want to cool ONLY your cpu, not a quad, then here is a good swiftech kit.

UPDATE - MODEL

Well I am officially getting my Quad Core . It is the Q6600 2.4 GHz, 1066 FSB. So if I do water cool it will need to be able to cool a quad. I'm still debating the setup I built on the first page from Danger Den. Just shooting around some ideas.

Spawn and Buddhist - I have a new design I've been throwing around. Same general idea, but a new front. No idea how to do it so I'll need the input.

Here is the front view. Obviously ignore the size. It is so I can get a picture of what I want it to look like. I would like to make it look like a stop light but only have the Green Light lit. Hence the name green light.

Here in the side view you can see where I want to put the fan. It would be a green led fan and it would be mounted to green plexi there in the hole. Not sure what to do about the other 2 lights. Whether to keep them solid or use plexi and just not have them lit. (Clear unlit fans)

Another side shot so you get what I mean.

Let me know what you think. All input is greatly appreciated and needed.

Maybe light all the windows with LED's rather than fans. Like the real "Stop lights" they could come on in sequence (controlled by a little timer/sequencer circuit) with just the green staying on once you have powered up.

errrr.... I'm no electrician Buddhist. I have nooooooooo idea how to do that.

noooooo ... but there are people here who do and it's not at all difficult.

Any links to help out? If so lots of rep coming your way

Something like this could do it but it will cycle through all three lights (however you could set red and yellow to be on for two seconds and green for 25 minutes - it's very flexible).

You need a simpler circuit to just go red-yellow-green. All it has to do is time the red on for say 5 seconds, then yellow for 5, then green comes on and stays on so. There are probably a load of ways to do this with quite simple home made circuits but i'll leave it up to one of the electronic guru's like crazybillybob to tell you more.

59 BUCKS!!! Ugh....

With a simple home made circuit using one or two transistors, capacitors and a few resistors you can knock up what you need with parts from Radioshack (does it still exist?) for less than $10.

I can't design the circuit for you but I know there are peeps here who can.
