Well here begins the actual work-log on my current main pet-project PC. Pegasus. Thoguh many things are still uncertain about this machine I would liek to share with you those things that are conrete and definate.

The main idea behind this case is to use a chilled liquid solution with a TEC unit on the CPU, and regular waterblocks on everything else.

There are a few designs for this (for some of which I already have 'plans' drawn out (i will post one plan later tonight). The whole point of this project worklog will be a complete method-to-madness analysis, with full details of everything that I myself do. I ask that if you have comments, advice, quesitons or anything based on what is put here in this worklog... please post them

Originaly this project was meant to be a utilization of the coolit system which I had posted on here earlier (for the water chilling part of said case). But I was unable to get enough information on release/price/etc. of the TEC water chilling unit as to actualy utilize it within the system, so, I'm doing the next best thing...building my own.

So look forward to the description/pictures for the first plan later tonight ;-). Hope you all enjoy my worklog :-)

Great stuff dude! if you can't buy it, make it yourself!

Looking forward to seeing this come together
Good luck

After some thorough research (and a bit of math just to make sure that my design suffered fromt he same problem). I realized that chilling the liquid with TECs would be EXTREMELY inefficient, and provide me with barely any performance (vs. the amount of wattage i'd be pulling fromt he wall to make this work.... So what to do?... well simple I am going to make this system a TEC/radiator setup. I will still construct a cooling pad TEC system for the CPU (possibly GPUs, not sure yet). Still I have not shown you guys any planning pics as I've promissed have I?

Well here is the perliminary plan 1 (of currently 4 plans, two being contained systems of which this is the leader, and two being externaly routed systems, aka. running tubing onto my balcony).



So, with the chiller gone form the design it looks a lot mroe simple then it did before, now many people would ask..why would I hit my flowrate so much as to split into 3 different tubings?...well it's because if there is a TEC/Coldplate setup on each part. There will also be passive cooling pipes in tween all of the large parts (before the first Y split, on top after it, one mini after the CPU, one mini before each card, and lastly one right before the pump.). There is a passive cooling radiator/resecour on top of the PC that is not being shown (150mm).

Explination of the bottom:
The intake is going to abe a fitted 172/150mm fan to create an air tunnel in the bottom, there will also be an up fan intake in between the two middle cuts (the red lines represent cute/removals) that will pump air up out of the high pressure area created by the large intake.

The Aux power supply will have a small redirection of airflow towards the bottom so that it and the updraft fan tdo not collide with one another.
Bot the core and AUx psups should have no problems with one another.
