Idly looking around at Peltier coolers as I am pissed off at the fan noise I came across http://www.doomedpc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2275 Overkill? -- -- R o b b o Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004. B.O.S.M 2003, 2004, 2005 FURSWB#1 KotL..YTC449 PM#7 ..
R obbo says... My fans piss me off sometimes with their noise too, but I wouldn't be where I am today without them, so I always make time to say hello, have my photo taken and sign autographs.

Upon closer inspection: Water is sucked out of bucket of cooling liquid (water tank), via pipe on to desk water block. It is then pumped up to the radiator and then... vanishes? I'm sure there's a link missing.
Not so much overkill as "clumsily executed". One can easily build a decent, reliable watercooled rig and keep it compact using off-the-shelf components these days. However, if all you're after is quietness and you've got lossa space inside your box, why not try fanless air-to-air cooling? http://www.quietpc.com/uk/p4cooling.php#kamakiri What have you got in the box at the moment? Pentium 4? Athlon? Standard 'sinks'n'fans?
They do work, but you'd need to be into some serious o/c'ing to justify it. Personally, I don't see the point - the speeds that a chip can be forced to are easily reached as standard within a few months.
They're not bad, mebbe a tad over the market rate for some of their more "run-of-the-mill" stuff (drives, etc.) but they do know their onions. I've bought stuff I couldn't get anywhere else from QuietPC plus they're good people to deal with.
Oooh, schweet... I've been contemplating cranking things up on my P4 box and that could be darned useful... 'Ere, man, yer .sig-sep's borked, like.

Wouldn't it be better spent being a hooligan on a bike? http://www.markusleonhardt.de/en/oelrechner.html I've seen that one before - its ORAC from Blakes 7 Dave 1200 Bandit. 750 Zephyr Hardtail Chop. Z650 Basket Case. CB250RS Patio Ornament. And the biggest shed you've seen this week!
I'd suggest that some of your time would be well spent honing your posting skills - specifically quoting and attributions: I rest my case. Or did you really post all the quoted text yourself? And a signature needs a separator. Sort it out, eh?
At the end of last year I had a meeting with Andre at Asetek who showed Cooo! Both those suggestions are useful. I'll look at the box later and see if I got space enough. The box is in a cupboard on a large bureau and doesn't have and sides to it so air flows quite freely through the front of the cupboard through out the case power supply fan at the rear (Or visa versa) so airflow is good, but so is noise. At 29 euros that spaceship on a stalk is good value, I might go for that. -- -- R o b b o Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004.
