Just a tiny update to keep you guys all in the loop
I've sent the case away to be powder coated inside and out by our friends over at WatercoolingUK. This will help to cover up all the drilling and laser cutting that's been done to the case
I've also had a new FSP Booster X3 PSU delivered which will power the peltier, pump, radiator fans and fans for the phase change unit. The idea of this is to keep the power-on for the cooling totally separate from the PC power on, so i can switch the phase/pelt on before the PC and allow things to get into the negatives
Unfortunately the FSP Booster needs to detect 5v before it will turn on, so i modded it a bit so i can turn it on with a switch instead:
I also gave myself a 240v shock while in the process....that's #5 in my life and i'm actually getting to quite like them now (NOT)

240v's, that's not good at all. Especially when it takes such a minute amount to cause heart arrhythmia or even worse....death.FarFarAway

I took like 30,000 volts in a physics class, its the ampage (luckily very low) that does you over
Looking good so far mate
Yeah, I think I've been quite lucky in that most times I've only had my arm thrown backwards by a shock. I did take quite a knock back with a 1kw Tagan unit tho that I was tinkering with.

took 670V from my cold cathode's inverter a while back
burnt some nice holes into my thumbs
out of curiosity, what components will be cooled by each system?

haha on the topic of people being fried...my electrician mate like to wire gizmos up and this one time was wiring up a number of lights to a bunk bed. silly man earthed onto the metal frame (which he was leaning on) and got a lovely helping of 240V down the arms and through the chest
