For some odd reason it won't let me upload the new design Pics.. and they are all under 200kb and jpg
Project Isotope (Peltier Cooled)
- Thread starter Direheart66
- Start date
Server has been having some work done today dude so it may have been that.

Hehe 
. Once again thanks for the help. Hopefully this aluminium company gives me an answer to wether what I asked was do-able otherwise its back to the old fashioned Weld and sand routine 
.
As for the design of the case I think since it is a Octagon the theme will be a thermo nuclear device... with all the parts.. serial number, flip switch, black and yellow paint, lovely green liquid lit up by led's inside etc. If I ever take this abroad I bet they will want to see everything inside before they let me on the plane.
and how could I forget, a lovely count down timer

Pity this case of mine wont be much use.... hmm maybe I could take it apart and use some stuff for the Project case.
Looks so nice... its a pity really.
This is what I have come up with so far... I knows its a rough estimate Monkey7 but here goes
Its wrong, its wierd and I like it for some strange reason!

That case may be the actually size of a Nuclear Warhead... Lol a Green WC loop will look epic on it... And if you ever want to sell it he'll i'l sell my house and get a VTOL V-22 Osprey to pick it up and drop it off to my house (DHL might have a spare VTOL shipping might be a b*tch though )...
shipping might be a b*tch though )... Direheart66

Hahah Well, that is the theme I have in mind
Since my gf is good with her sketches and drawings ... ( still need to upload some ). I plan on having etched on the viewing panels.
STILL waiting for a reply as to wether I will be building the shell of the case myself or if this company can do it for me.... of course having it machine built is the preference so I am willing to wait a few more days.......
Now the boys *points at Monkey7 and others* are telling me that the 975 will not provide much of a benefit as opposed to Overclocking a 920 or so to 4ghz.
On that note I might be adding more SSD's instead of opting for the i7 Extreme. So that il be pushing well over 1gb/s Read speed .
Still thinking on getting the workstation by the way, will probably need the extra x16 Pci-e slots for the Raid Controller. That and also the 2000 Mhz ram speed support is neat.
That is about it for now, sorry the updates are coming so slowly
. The cells though should be arriving in 2-3 weeks... still a long time... Yes where I live everything takes AGES!! middle of the mediterranean here... *sigh*
Please don't kill me Monkey7 but its back to Octagon....

Ok ... got some good news and some bad news *cries*
I have been doing research all day about oil cooling with transformer oil and other non conductive oils, looked up their dieletric properties, hydrolic pressure and many more things. It turns out Transformer Oil would have been my best choice.
Having a normal Chip with no connections or pins or a circuit board where the connections are wires would be fine using oil and would last a long time.
However since Motherboards and Graphics cards have other eletrical componets where at first will work 100% even for a year or more, the tendancy is that they will not function as well after a while due to the Oil's properties.
Basically if you wanted to do this for Benching every once in a while you would be fine. However for long term and ongoing use I was told by many informed people ( even went to local radio station for answers ( they use Transformer oil in their cooling ) that it would not be practical.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ was bad news.
The good. The entire project is still going to be done . However with some changes ( more money required lol ). I will be making a modified WC system that uses the cells to cool the OIL ( in pipes this time ) to various system components. ( still aiming at a good -20 permanent ).
Yes I know wall of text sorry. I will produce more information on "new" setup shortly.

On a funnier note I could use Vodka in the pipes... it has a low freezing point .
Seriously, I forgot to mention that Oil has pour points ( to much to explain ) anyway I need to find a liquid thats not to thick and retains its properties as low as -60 Degs.

Argh. hmmmmmmmmmmm *thinks* .*beep* ... *beep* aha!
What if :
1: the motherboard is set in a position that if condensation forms it could only drip away from the Motherboard. ( this is a custom case after all )
2: Still use a container for the motherboard and have 2 cells at the bottom with 2 fans moving all the cold Air through the container thus removing any humidity.
3: You tell me

Ok, I've only just got around to reading the entierty of this thread. And it's taken a good while to get it all in (@ work with nothing better to do ftw ). But I may have to utterly rain on your parade here .
Few questions:
Is this supposed to be a 24/7 system you'll use each day for the next few months/years before the next project?
Have you worked with sub-zero cooling before (ie know about insulation & the risks involved)?
What happens if the load of the componets excides the capacity of the pelts?

I have had experience with this kind of thing although not in computers. I know the importance of insulation and other factors. As for the Cells not coping that will never be the issue, I just need to get one of the right wattage. Thanks for bringing up these things though never hurts to go through precautions.

You know having had some time to work out some things in the work shop I think I will be fusing this lovely case
^^ thats the back Btw.
Still not sure but since I was not going to use this case anyway and I really like it... I was thinking why not make it a hybrid by using all the parts/ using the same case but making it bigger white retaining its coolness
