Pictures of the watercooling/TEC setup at the TakeOver 2001 LAN party


Overview of the mounted watercooling system.

The coolant container is mounted in the right-bottom corner of the case. In the left-top corner you can see the bridghe rectifier and capacitors from the TEC power supply. The transformer whuich converts the 220VAC to 18VAC is mounted below the CDROM/DVD drives, and is not visible. The green/yellow wire wrapped around the hoses prevent them from collapsing due to the small bending radius. The waterjacket is invisible on this picture.

Please note that this was a beta setup: the photo was taken at a LAN party, and I had to get it working.

The white wire going to the waterjacket is connected to a temperature sensor which monitors the coldplate temperature.
