New Computer



3d model of a potential idea for a new computer build. Everything is to scale so I can make sure everything fits and I know what material I need to buy.


CPU water block


GPU water block


I was very fortunate to have someone gift me some solid bronze blocks of metal that I could mill down to make my new water blocks. The material wasn't thick enough to make the GPU block out of two pieces but I can't complain about the price of free. Just need to clean up and weld the pieces together so that it is water tight.



Everything is coming along great. I mocked up all the copper pipe to make sure everything is cut to size and will fit properly. Also made a cardboard template to use for the case that will house all the wires and water pump.




The case will conceal the power supply, storage drives, pump and fill port for the water. 





Everything  is dry fit and I am ready to start soldering all the joints together

I ran the water pump for a full day without leaks so I moved onto the next test. Computer starts up like normal which means I didn't break anything. Still have the power supply outside of the case just incase there is any water leaking but I looks like we are good to go.


Aaaaand we are done. I got everything tucked away and it looks great. This was a really fun project to work on and it will fit right on my desk. Need to find something else to do on the weekends now that this is finished.
