Im looking a "NICE" looking either plexiglass or aluminum case that can hold a custom built watercooling setup. I have an idea and would like to build it, but the case im after to build it in, seems non-existent. Basically Im looking for a case that is "ABOUT" the same size as a vapochill, or machII GT chiller case. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you
 
The vaperchill units are about the same size as a micro-atx form factor size i guess. So to that regards, you could look into a Inexpencive case.

I personally have had horrible experiences with remotely installing the water cooling gear in a separate enclosure. I sawed a full tower case in half. I would suggest bolting this add on case to your main case, or choose smaller Water cooling parts till it fits inside, or bolted to the back.

My external water cooling setup, which ended whern the pump died in one month....
I only wish it looked as cool as the guy on the page before.

-Gateway2000 full tower case sawed in half
-water fountin pump
-automotive antifreeze
-Ford heater core
-cardbord fan shroud
-huge gage wire used to run 12v from pc case to fan in shroud.
-did i mention antifreeze?
-steele hose clamps
-Huge azz hose reducers were like 6$ in hardware each because i was stupid and bought them in the plumbing dept. (see above radiator)


This raggedy umbilical project was a misirable white elephant falure, it required draining the entire system to do any work on my pc. Horazontal resavores are stupid.

But the modded Gateway2000 case was kinda cool when its all buttoned up.

Thank you for the reply, but there has got to be a company that offers what im looking for, or at least you would think there is:confused: Does anyone sell bare vapochill/mach cases?
 
Sorry i was in a budget mindframe, and not a quality one.

Im not sure where vaperchill buys their stock from, but theres plenty of "Custom enclosure" manafacturers out there.

Key words to google is portacabs, miniboxes, alumion boxes.
 
Also, i was unable to find and half sized plexi cases, so if thats the road you want to take you will probably have to make it yourself.

Good luck, please post pics when you get cracking on your idea!
 
doesnt have to be plexiglass by any means, just a solid well built case for under 50 dollars
