After a disastrous summer of getting no where on anything, I’m back to try and get the ‘puter build juices flowing. Besides working on a “clandestine” build the wife doesn’t know about, thought I’d start thinking about the external water loop part of DCv2.
As it now stands I plan to have the computer part sit on my desk and have the remote radiator sitting on top of the desk hutch. This will require me to use most if not all of the 3 meter dual tube provided with the W/C radiator kit. Also this would involve having the radiator / fan assembly at a nominal 30” “above” the computer. There are several reasons for this but the primary one is if I had it sitting on the desk it would end up “under” the hutch and there would not be much in the realm of air movement. The following pictures hopefully can give you a “feel” for the placement. The box shown is YsSMN.
  
So will “fighting gravity” be an issue? For those of you that are unfamiliar with the aquaduct 240 Pro Mk II it uses an Eheim 1001 pump. This is a 12V, 11W pump pushing 150 – 600 L/h (39 – 158 gph). Also here are two nice reviews of its “big brother” the 360XT. Besides having a larger rad and one more fan it has some nice useful “bling”.

So give me your input and we’ll see what happens!
