    OMG! It hit me, just a minute ago!

    Ok, on the panel covering the backside of the mobo, I'm going to attach three pieces of angle iron to the outside and use them to hold the acrylic. I'll use bondo to slope the angle iron in, making it part of the panel and the acrylic will be a window to the backside of the mobo. I'll use a CCFL on the bottom to light the water down low. It will be a part of the case and not a removeable side panel like I was originaly planning!

    Now all I have to do is design the actual "tank" and I can get crackin!

    I mean that it will actually be part of the cooling system. I think I will run a secondary radiator so that I can run cooler temps.

    i would think that there would be a problem with air in the radiator, but if you can pull it of, that would be sweet.

    Look into Bong/Evap cooling (XS and Procooling should have some stuff on it)... you can get some serious cooling from that, and if you can get a big acrylic tube, it'll look awesome. Ambient or below temps. Downsides are that it gets a bit humid in your computer room, and you need to refill it.

    I have a desktop fountain that I have to fill every day or evaporation ends up whisking away a significant amount of water. So if you have one side open to the air to aid in cooling, you may run into problems keeping fluid in it.. All in all I think its a killer idea.. VERY ZEN.. heh

    Heheh, it would be a closed system, completely sealed. Only access to it would be the fill port.
