Alright thanks for explaining that. What are the noise levels like? I mean, you got 18 fans for the rads, a vacuum pump and a fan on each PSU too. Plus some more pumps. One thing: I guess I should say it's not about how much heat is transferred in a vacuum (I'm not sure if that's right, can you correct me?). Anyway, won't things like RAM or parts of the mobo not covered by waterblocks overheat? In a normal case it's no prob because even bad airflow will keep them cool. But here you have zero air flow (that would basically do nothing for a vacuum pump, I guess). Won't those little things start to overheat then?
Great question. The airlock can keep a quiet place for three days, so I only need to run the pump for three minutes once each day to stop moisture from building up inside the tank. Also because there is water at about 0 degrees Celsius, anything touching it stays around 5 degrees, which keeps the room temperature near 15 degrees and leaves everything cool.
the vacuum chamber and pump. http://imgur.com/a/j51mM had to throw the InWin case away because it was too much changed, so the case got weak. I have a new HP case that fits in there, so now I'll be careful about how many changes I make to it. :lol: I will try anyway.
So, I'm thinking about the chest looking a little too big and awkward. Do you think we need to put on an extra layer to hold things in place, or do we leave it all loose as is?
this hp computer case is missing all of its sides and front panel, making it super small for my chest. the motherboard and video cards fit inside because the whole thing has been gutted down to the wires. the PC case is screwed straight into the floor of my chest so it doesn't swing around. there are four 250mm reservoir tanks attached to the outside wall, and two fans from each tank face outwards. this build was a lot of work; I already have another one in my chest and another pc case ready for me. :lol: lots of changes need to happen with this setup, at least how i usually do things, but i have the tools and time to keep trying anyway. sometimes problems show up, which means more cost and extra time on the project.
