I see an LED, a turntable... I got it! It is a water reservoir lit by an LED.

Very nice. Question about the LEDs, are you using it with a resistor, or just putting it directly to the 3.3v plug?

It's a resistor. And that LED isn't working right now anyway, I just hoped it would help.
More pics tomorrow!

Looks like theres a heatsink in the top right of that picture, I'm still lost though lol

Guru Janitor · Sep 6, 2008, 11:43 PM

The heatsink looks like its attached to a caulk gun loader thing...

Slot loaded liquid cooling?

that was my first guess, but idk either

Looks like a TEC Cooler Fridge. They are neet and I had some teacher bring one into my Tech class because the fan died. We told her to get us a fan and will replace it for her.

Edit: Seems like your going to use this to cool your cpu by modding it correct?

Shot in the dark: Submerged PC?

Jmatt110 · Sep 7, 2008, 10:38 PM

KieranD · Sep 7, 2008, 10:48 PM
