Portable Custom Loop?

Joshua · March 17, 2013

Hi All,

I'm looking to build a new machine, and I'm willing to drop a very large sum of money on it. I've been doing research about what I should do with it, form factor etc...and I was wondering if there is such thing as a portable(The Smaller, The Better), very high performance machine that can be cooled with a custom loop. I am willing to heavily mod cases and do whatever it takes.

Newegg TV did a video (see below) titles Water Cooling Do's and Don'ts, where they brought in a guy who spoke about water cooling. He brought in a small machine that was water cooled, and although that case doesn't look very attractive to me, It is the kind of idea that i'd like.

I will be using the machine for Heavy Gaming, Coding & School work. Very little or absolutely nothing in terms of video rendering and editing.

Skip to 1:35 to see the machine I was talking about.

Thanks.

Why not make a waterbox? You could plumb up your system in a tiny M-ITX case and drill two holes for quick disconnect fittings. The waterbox could house large radiators, pumps and a reservoir.

Singularity Computers made a very nice one;

If you had quick disconnects on both the waterbox and case itself, you could roll up the tubing that connects them both when the system isn't being used to make it even more compact and easy to transport.
