I have to option to mount 2x 2.5 HDD but don't know which one will be better!
Behind the mobo tray or in behind the fan controller on top the Storm Cage any suggestions are welcome!

Here are more pictures of the front...

In this chapter we're going to disassemble the lightning machine to see how we are going to connect that to the PSU and move the controller to the front of the case.

The Storm Cage ver. 2.0
The first design was nice but it didn't let the air from the 2x 140mm fans go into the cage to create the chaos I was expecting so I decided to cut the front and add something I found at a local 0.99 cent store.

- Controlling Mother Nature
- Temp Test

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1cUxXPf8dY

Initial Temp 70F (Warm water was used to make this Test)
15 Min (After): 68F
30 Min (After): 67.5F
45 Min (After): 67.1F

Without any special setting or Hardware, just the The Storm Cage, the Pump and the NMC CPU Water Block.

So now I'll explain how the Storm Cage Works...

First it takes the water from the bottom of the Cage and distributes it through the loop... Then it hit the Rain Chamber where the water goes down as drops... then this drops are cool down by the strong winds from the 2x 140mm Fan in the front...

So is like having Mother Nature inside a Computer Case. I can adjust the rain frequency and the wind velocity so I can control the Storm inside the Cage...

Hopefully that make sense to all of you!!!
 
sheeeeeeeeeit dude, thats frikkin sweet.
 
awesome idea! completely original for sure. ive seen systems like that for cooling, but usually 6ft tall and never INSIDE a case. so there wont be any rad right? keep it up, i wanna see how this thing cools!

question: how does the air exit the storm tunnel? it seems if its just straight out the back then its gonna be taking a lot of water with it and making a mess behind your case. also, even if you can keep water drops inside, with this system youre gonna be evaporating a lot out. i hope you have a simple solution for topping off the water level pretty regularly. :)
 
yeah, very nice, very cool idea. thought about doing something similar to this at one point but thought it was going to be too complicated, Kudos to you for being able to do it!! you do great work, and will likely subscribe to any work log you got!

Sorry for the delay guys but I have been busy with a my other project Codename: 69 and I'm waiting for some sponsorship for this project so I'll update as soon as posible...

The air goes into the Storm Cage from the front and goes out the same way, well I don't know how to explain this but the water has a top level so it doens't go out of the case you can't see it because is inside the cage... I left the system on for about 48 hrs straight and the level was the same all the time maybe if i run it for about a week that could happen.

I'll make a custom Rad for this project... right now am working on the Phase 2 of the Cyprium Project. The Ultimate Radiator... can be seen on my forum in case you are interested.

I think this is something that can be easily done... am taking my time because I want to create the "Perfect Storm". :D

So see you soon guys!
