    A case idea, for someone with a WC rig.

    These are just some ideas that I've thought of and likely never will apply.

    Here's my WC rig idea:

    Buy some copper tubing (2 foot tubes, just to be certain), I'd say about 4 would be needed, just for good measure.

    Buy 8 3 point angled copper joints and a single 3 point straight joint.

    Now, the idea is to create a case frame and actually have the water running through the case, to not cool your cpu or anything else specifically, but lower your case ambient, making sure that near your resivour (sp?) you leave the T joint to allow the water to flow through.

    Next, you get a 6 pieces of plexiglass (size according to case size and frame size), make sure to buy an extra couple sheets for the resivour. You'll need something to attach the plexiglass to the case (which I haven't figured out what would be best used, all though a trip to home depot could decide that easily). Next, you'll cut out a resivour (sp?) (out of plexiglass) allowing at least 3" from the mobo-tray side of the case, where a cathode could be place (which would light up your resivour (sp?) ) To make sure your resivour's water-tight, you'd use epoxy to seal the corners.

    Now, this is just a concept. I wouldn't want a WC rig, nor do I know all their workings. So, my concept may not even work all that well, nor have I completely thought it out.

    However, if it does work, it could work very well.
