Ok, i have been reading alot about water cooling. The big thing that i think about when i look at is condensation in the tower. I see this as a problem with corrosion on sensitive parts inside the tower. Does anyone have any information about this?

the only thing i could think of is putting a tube of descant inside the tower and changing it when it gets pink.

If you are using a water cooling system than simply uses water as the exchange medium with ambient air, then there should be no concern of condensation as water temperature will never drop below ambient. A system that uses phase change or a thermoelectric cooler that can drop the medium's temperatures to below ambient can cause a condensation issue.

In case you are considering a cooling system that can drop the mediums temps below ambient, you would probably want to use a hose material or a wrap on the cold hoses that insulates the hoses. This reduces the rate of heat transfer which would help keep the insulator's surface temperatures close enough to ambient to prevent condensation. They do this on the cold refridgerant lines for home A/C systems so you don't get moisture problems inside your home when running the A/C. Not to mention, it makes it more effective by not absorbing heat into the refridgerant lines.

I'm not into liquid cooling so I may be asking a dumb question, but how would a person do that?

I'm thinking external radiator, then use the outlet and run it into a peltier cooling block and then pipe that into the case?

just a sample system.i was thinking of putting the resivior into a mini fridge... keep it nice and cool

So on top of flushing your cars coolant every year you want to flush your computers too?

Just kidding but still not into it, I got a Antec 900 Y0 6 fans!!!

Some great info on compact/simple water cooling setups can be found in this article series:http://www.tomshardware.com/re....html

My PC actually sits on top of a minifridge. Hmmmm.

keep it simple bro. They have water cooling kits complete with reservoir, radiator/fan, copper CPU block, and hoses for $50. They come in a practically self-contained chassis that slides into a 5.25in expansion bay. (same as a CDROM)
