Heh must be a secret, he hasnt replied yetTman said:I just have a few Questions for the Master Builder of this KICK @$$ PC
Hay Could you please post a like to a site or place where I could purchase this liquid or look at it??
Also how much does this liquid cost??
BrainEater said:heh.....Actually , If you read the thread , I've said this before
The fluid is Midel 7131
It cost me 400$ CDN....most of that was shipping from manchester UK.The actual Midel was 100$.
We are discussing submersion fluids on a different thread :
submersion fluids
Really , midel7131 is no more expensive than a comparable transformer fluid , it's the shipping that hurts.

Jonsey said:I wonder if you could just stick an evaporator from a water chiller in the liquid. It would certainly be more efficient then the TECs and keep the fluid cooler. The fluid might get too thick and viscous as it gets cold, though.

mkim797 said:Law of Conservation of Energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed. Which brings me to my last question:
Where are you getting 1 kW of energy to be dissipated? Assuming you are running a 600 Watt power supply AND all of your components are perfect heat generators, that means that you can't have more than 600 watts of energy to dissipate. Now, if you are including the peltiers, that would add the extra 400 watts, but the peltiers are a heat pump (albeit an inefficient one) so not all the wattage goes into heat. The light bulbs crank out heat, too, but they can't be more than 20 watts each. I think that 750 Watts of heat dissipation is more realistic (and I think that number is still a bit high).
I'm not trying to knock your estimates; I have been doing some major calculations as to the amount of heat dissipation required and my numbers just didn't match with your 1 kW. The price of dissipating heat goes up rapidly as the amount of heat dissipation required increases, so I want a solution that will be adequate and not overkill.
Please correct me if I am wrong or if I am missing something. Thanks.
Oh...and your case looks awesome. I hope that mine will have the level of craftsmanship that yours does.
