Did this not hit Floatplane or did I just skip over it somehow?

So, im wondering if the tubing u used was to soft, restricting flow as u sat on it. The flow rate of the liquid in those small tubes would also have decreased the chillers efficiency.

 

Perhaps u would have been better of using 'normal' larger diameter tubing with a thicker wall for rigidity and insetting them deeper into the foam.

 

Still, cool project !

well it's old project, but it works

chair: DIABLO V-BASIC 

2x Thermalright  TY-147A PWM

2x some stock 120mm aerocool case fans

12V DC 2.1A power brick with 5.5 x 2.1mm dc power plug

 

 

there's a hidden 5.5 x 2.1mm dc power switch

https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/32814985447.html

 

the power cable is 5.5 x 2.1mm dc, and is detachable, and if I accidentally go too far with chair plugged it, it will just detache. 

 

 

 

then just some 5.5 x 2.1mm DC to screws adapter, then some molex cable cut from old PSU, then some molex to 3 pin, and then noctua extenders, and Y splitter as well as some low noise adapters for 3 pin to the  2x Thermalright TY-147A (had to lower theirs rpm, because they are to strong). The red led fans have molex + 3 pin power plug, so I just run them directly from molex. 

 

it's quite quiet, and efficient. The red led fans are mounted with door seal, for vibrations dumping. Had some lying around.

As a long time aquarium hobbyist, I am surprised the two hobbies rarely cross over. I would love to see them engineer an aquarium/pc system.

 

However, I know there would be a lot of issues to iron out! Still, would be a fun project (as long as no fish are harmed in the production of it).

I only knew about those manifolds because I am also a fish nerd.

Do you want the diplomatic or the honest answer to that?

 

Seriously though, cool project, in more then one sense of the word.

Next time, try a more affordable IKEA chair
