those little black boxes each one has a different output voltage and some just drop voltage down but stay AC.

with well designed radiators the fins per an inch doesn't mean much because rad with low FPI would just be made thicker while a rad with a lot a FPI would be thin eithier way you would end up with same surface area. Something to consider is with a higher FPI your going to catch alot more dust unless...

6 screws hold it in place plus I also went around with a thin layer of clear caulking so I wouldn't call it hard but not that easy either. This is actually my first quiet PC and I have come to the conclusion that to get a silent watercooled pc your going to have to use a submerged pump or a weaker one

panyhose works good

here is my loop.

I got my fittings and clamps yesterday so I started installing everything had a few leaks I had to take care of. I got as far as mounting blocks and installing motherboard and plumbing and I jumped started motherboard with sides off bios reports 26c w/ fans at full speed cpu is opteron 165. Still ha...

head is only 6 1/2' but only uses 6 watts @ 12v so I think it would do pretty good in smaller loops

Sorry Felger, but I have to do this... NEVER buy any power tools from Harbor Freight. Their stuff is the cheapest of the cheap. I had that exact dremel and it lasted exactly 1 use before burning up. I was using to trim some aluminum 5.25" bay covers to stealth my optical drives on my old case. I've...

you might be able to use mercury

I think wood is a little forgiving if you make a mistake the mount i was talking about for fan I made it out of 1/4" lexan. fan is held to lexan with screws then the lexan is screwed into front of case using #6 machine screws and nuts the reason I had to do this is the part of the filter that attach...

I used a jigsaw but the plastic melts so I used a ryobi speedsaw to clean up http://www.oneplustools.com/rotary/p530

I'm not finshed yet. I still want to replace my plastic block fittings with metal ones and get an wye fitting to replace T fitting. I'm going to be using airtrap instead reservoir. I also removed bottom hard drive cage and brackets including center fan bracket and made a mount to mount fan in bottom...

I think the best kit you can get is the swiftech. There are quieter pumps but once suspended they are quiet.

I have the 240 extreme and that likes either a powerful fans or quieter fans in a push pull setup but I got a 360 gt stealth and their suppose to be better with low cfm. they are thinner with more fins per inch. I wanted to have my radiator mounted in such a way that it expelled heat out of case so ...

yea and if you ran the wu in your head 10,000 x speed boost

I have this one http://www.oneplustools.com/rotary/p530

cordless and you can use dremel or rotozip bits. very powerful

what model blackice rad do you use? some are for high output fan over 80cfm.

heater cores are designed for high pressure fans not the best choice if you are looking for silence

res0r9lm, I have a Sonata 2 case and I'm quite happy with it. I'm surprised to hear you describe it as flimsy; I think it's very solidly made and it weighs a ton. I can sit on mine and I'm not a little boy anymore. I bought mine here in Australia and it came with a 450W Antec power supply, which ha...

yea I built it ran it for 2 days they gave it to my brother he took it home and it never would start up he brought it back and psu will run with tester but lite every now and again blinks but won't start using motherboard. yea most cases you can remove psu without removing other hardware. I never se...

I don't see what the hype is about. Front cover doesn't close correctly. PSU fails in a matter of days. Can't remove PSU without also removing motherboard. Duct just causes cpu to heat up 2c more. The case is weak enough I feel I could crush it like a aluminum can. I'm afraid to lean on it with side...
