Not that expensive, look.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0055QNA92/ref=s9_simh_gw_p201_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=07Y5AW3W8VA3EXNAJ348&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294

But still, it just delays the onset of combustion, it doesn't make it fireproof.

But then, an acrylic case would burn pretty well too. And a metal one only buys you time to put out the fire like the flame retardant does but will still burn your house down if you let it. The only real advantage is EMI shielding.

I'll use wood, the spray, and aluminum inside for emi. And keep a fire ecstinguisher in the left side.

This is what i found for water cooling. This look good? I would get the copper tubing chromed. However you do that. http://www.frozencpu.com/process

I have not yet read all of this thread, but if you are going to buy soft copper, please do not buy it from FrozenCPU, get it from Home depot or Lowes, it's the same stuff but a lot cheaper. FrozenCPU overprices big time for soft copper tubing.

 

Homedepot Soft copper- http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-8-in-x-20-ft-Copper-Soft-Type-L-Coil-LSC3020PS/202287077 20 feet for $42.25

 

FrozenCPU for the same 20 feet $85.00

Ok cool :), just did not want you to get ripped off when you do start the WC loop.

Yeah I know the feeling bro, I live right around 45 minutes away from PerfomancePCS and 10 miles away from a Tigerdirect, but hate buying stuff from them unless I really need something fast and they have it in stock at the store lol.

are you going to be able to spend all that money on your project or do you need/want to save up for other things aswell?
