Metal Reservoirs

Recently, I've played around with changing tecs and fans on a cootit eliminator. Intriguing results. I'd like to pursue the idea a little further with a little higher flow wc system using tec chilled water from a one or two stage reservoir arrangement.

Can anybody give me links to metal reservoirs? I realize that other materials might work for this purpose but I'd like to know what's around.

thanks
 
Some people will say that having aluminum in your loop with copper is asking for trouble. Others say that as long as you use the right coolant and/or the aluminum is anodized you will have no problems.

I don't know of any metal reservoirs that aren't aluminum, but alphacool makes a version of the aforementioned bullseye res that is made from high-grade plastic.
 
If they were made out of copper no one could afford them and they would be difficult to mount due to the weight.
 
Alphacool has stopped producing their copper reservoirs due to the high cost. I purchased one recently and will provide results when I can. Maybe it'll become a collector's item since I haven't seen these for so long.
 
Here's one out of Plexi and Stainless Steel a guy I know is starting to make. I'm sure if you were to contact him he could make you one completely out of SS and drop the breakable plexi............:eek:

Make SURE that's electrically disconnected from the chasis :eek:

Course if you're going sub-zero, you'll need lots of antifreeze anyways :p

Actually, that looks real close to what I need. PM se3nt for your friend's info.
 
Recommend having a wander to overclockers.com.au, sign up for their forums, then go on a hunt for 2 threads by Cathar entitled "Experiments in Tec Water Chilling Pt1" and Pt2 (I think). All the experimentation on running such a system has been done... you might be surprised at the results....

Thanks, that was good advice.

Well, he's making me one that's 2.5 inches wide, 10" long and 8" high. I will put 2 x 50mm tecs on top (I'm still figuring just which iones) They'll be cooled with either some Intel retail HSF's or an alpha and swiftech I've got laying around. IN the res, I'm putting 2 x ultra 90 HS, upside down.

We'll see what happens...
