Installation

One thing that became painfully obvious as I got ready to put this in my case was the lack of space. After all the work I had put into making my old case work no matter what there was just no way to squeeze all the parts I needed into a mid case. So I went to Compucare and whined at Brian who was nice enough to give me a deal on a demo supercase. This thing should have room enough for everything. 

Now I cut my hole.  I traced the contraption onto the top of the case and then cut. I wish I had been paying more attention. After I cut the hole I lifted my jigsaw to examine my handy work and found a nice 4 inch long gouge in the top of my case. BUMMER. Oh well, to prevent this tape down some thick paper that the jigsaw table can rest on.

I then took the can holder, found the height I wanted the assembly to protrude above the top of the case and used a book to hold the top of the case in place while I did the tape trick once again.

Now that it is where it's supposed to be lets take a look at some temps. First I used tap water, not very cold either. ( Shown Below )

I put the temp probe in the can holder after about 10 minutes and got the reading below.

Then I waited like an hour, maybe an hour and a half and tried again ( after putting it into the cooler ).

And then in the can holder again

Then I put it all back together

WOOHOO! I would definitely say that was a success. And there it is. What? You say you have no water cooling system and they're kinda spendy?  Well it just so happens that I didn't have one either. Ill show you how I put one together on the cheap.

UPDATE! After I was done with everything I went back to the way I run my machine normally and for the heck of it tried to get a temp one last time. Here you see me holding the temp probe down on the base of the can holder with a thermometer. How's that for a temp?!
