| 599050 | 2007-10-08 20:08:00 | One of the coolest radiators I've ever seen was one built by an American guy, he lived in the north of America where it got very cold over the winter months. He made a huge radiator out of copper piping and buried it in his backyard, for a good 9months per year it was below 0 outside. Made for a very quiet cooling solution as it had no fans the only thing that made noise was the pump, which was hidden away making the system practically silent. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||

A 24 hr leak test is a step that is recommended in the strongest terms when setting up a water cooled system. Ignored at peril. Anyway, the sort of people that set up water cooled systems never leave their systems alone for long enough to evolve leaks. |

| 599053 | 2007-10-12 07:24:00 | its not that bad. If you take physics then liquids exchange heat faster and better than air |

Too risky imo, nothing a few internal fans, a spot on the floor near the AC, or a few desk fans can't cure do you really get condensation? unless you have a refridgeration unit that isn't going to happen as the pipe should be warmer than the air by a few degrees |
