Watercooled Microfly

That's awesome! I had no clue about that combo. I wonder why more people aren't doing this!!. I will gladly use this kit as a base system, then add parts as i see fit!

for a microfly i would just pick up a swiftech h20-120 compact kit, comes with the pump/block, and the res and the rad are all in one. the picture in like post 3 is the actualy kit, comes with everything you need in a 2 step process.

Yea I will be getting that one when I get around to finishing that project. Right now i'm working on another, decided to start case modding a slightly bigger case.

Hello all! It's been a while right!


Since February I haven't touched a thing on any of my projects. I have been extrememly bussy with school/work and over seas for a good majority of the time. I will be once again making an attempt at finishing this watercooled PC.

Right now here's my current thoughts.

I wasnt to replace the clear sides with mesh. This mesh will be bent out about 1" allowing for two radiators to be positioned on either side with minimal impact on inner space.


THere will not be any fans mounted directly onto the radiators. I will custom make the top pannel and into it I will fit 4 high speed 92mm or larger fans, which will be controlled by some form of controller to keep noise down. the front pannel will more than likely become another custom piece. I am in the works of getting 1" stand off's. To this I will mount a custom piece of acrylic, that will fit the front. Around the front of the machine will be the res, wich will be a custom piece made in the shape of b.


the pump will be mounted inside the case, in the spare space under the cdrom/3.5" bay. to save more space i'll probably mount the hdd in the 3.5" floppy bay, since I'm not a fan of floppies anyway. This brings me to the back where I'll put a standard atx style psu with shortened cables, and another high speed fan blowing air into the case.


I should be picking up work on this within the next month, depending on school and work.



Thanks!

Well, all right then. The Microfly was my first "real" case, and I can't wait to see how you do this. We'll expect a worklog.

Yea! haha! I have been mocking up again, and I've been wondering how i'm going to stuff 2" deep radiators into this case....So i'm in search of something in the .75 to 1" deep cooling devices.

upon further investigation I found a few dual 120mm radiators that are shallow enough to fit in my limited space. SO it looks like I'll be running two dual 120mm radiators.
