Another componentI haven't seen incorporated into a case yet (tho I am sure someone has tried it, I just haven't seen it) is dry ice. It's easily gotten in pellet form (they are ~2x.5") and if you slotted one above your door before opening, would make an excellent 'fog' (not smoke!) effect as...
Indeed it is, but any number of additives will stop that. Great point about the impeller breaking stuff up...tho that in itself would make for an interesting effect...heh. And now, back to the CrimsonSky Doom3 case worklog!
That's a pretty interesting idea...I wonder if anyone has tried it?
I could see several issues to be feared...how well to pumps handle viscous fluids? Might not oil coat the insides of the water blocks (thereby reducing the contact and conductivity of the cooling solution)? Possibly 'cook'...
Just another quick thought....since you are using several layers on your window (I think you are anyway....) it might be cool to slap a couple sheets of diffraction grating in between some of the layers above (in front of) the etch (the finer grooved sheets are not only cheaper, but produce...
This is a truly amazing case...mad props to ye Crimson.
