    Where can I find a stacker window in stock?

    As topic (Where can I find a stacker window in stock?)
    Tried my usual outlets, but I'm struggling on this one. Anyone help out here?

    Would also like to buy a tripple rad, asetek Hydro L30 pump, 6800 ultra waterblocks and some water cooling accessories at the same time

    Cheers

    dunno about the window...

    Alphacool NexXxos Extreme III - £33.15 is a very good rad and also the cheapest by far.

    Ive read stories that the hydor l30 pump can leak and has other problems, adding it to my list of do-not-buy pumps (where it joins the laing DDC).

    A few decent ones are:
    C-systems II ~£30
    Laing d4/5 ~£50
    AquaXtreme 50Z - Only shop that sells it still ~£55

    This list has lots of other shops that should have the other stuff..

    As far as pump I already got an asetek antartica kit, but I want another pump, resevoir and tripple rad to match....bit like twin pipes on an exhaust if ya know what i mean.

    Suppose I could buy a whole new set of rads, resevoirs and pumps, but I thought I'd use what I've been given

    You want two rads, pumps and res's in the same loop?!?!?

    No two loops. One for CPU and chipset and one for SLI GFX's
    Maybe even been considering one of these Thermoelectric liquid cooler

    And that needs two loops becuase?...

    You want an inefficent form of heatpump (used in a very inefficent way) instead of a device to disipate heat to the surroundings? that will work

    Get a 120.3 rad anyway, but still use your old rad with it if you have space for it.
    If your existing pump is a l30 should be good enough for the extra blocks and rad.

    A TEC is a heat pump, it moves heat energy from one side to the other. It doesnt disipate it to the air, you need better good cooling for the hot side.

    A TEC consumes quite a bit more energy than it moves across therfore the hotside has atleast 2x the heat output as what is lost from the cold side. I would call that a quite ineffiecent waste of power.

    I suppose it really depends how cool the tec gets the water. According to Swiftnet it has the possibility of getting the water down to -3°
    Which would mean the possibility of a better overclock.

    That TEC chiller uses 452w of power.

    A 1/12-1/6hp (63-126w) compressor in a phasechange system would be equally as good at chilling water, and be a lot cheaper.

    You can get an old freezer (or a new one, still cheaper) with 1/2hp (400w) compressor which would be capable of getting the water down to -20c or less, just with the evap coil in a large res.

    Thats just an example of how efficent TECs are..
