Finally i got time and got the 2 tec cooler design done. Could definitely be more optimized, but it's more for reference. I will post pics up in a little bit.

Okay guys the official roster for the 411 forumwarz team has been posted.
 

 
I will tell all of you here the same as I posted at 411.  Please get a full set of safe speed OC benches posted up at 411 when I open up the OC scores thread.  We do not need anyone using stock scores because they killed hardware already.

No F class? Won't that really hurt our chances at an overall win?

Ok, here is the 2 tec cooler for ya Halo. I am gonna put only thumbnails, as i uploaded the screenshots as 1920x1080 so you can see it the best possible.
 
Here is the put together design. Yes, the two tecs are to scale, 62x62x4mm. Hot side and cold side inlet and outlets, tecs sandwiched in the middle of the two "loops." The total exterior dimensions, ignoring the piping in and out is 50mm thick, 150mm wide, 75mm deep. The pipes are for 1/2" ID tubing.:

 
Here is the interior for each side. 1mm wide channels, 2mm high. The inlet is split to give the coldest possible water to both sides; paralell cooling rather than series.:

 
Here is the top for each side. Slots into the interior for each side. It has dropped down interior, to force the water at high pressure through the channels. It does not go down to contact the channels, but is 2mm above them. I didn't want it too restrictive, but it should still keep pressure up b/c of the small opening through and above the chanels, even though the flow is getting split to both sides. Also, the trapezoidal shapes line up with the inlet and outlets, to gradually pressurize the flow, rather than have it immediately smashed into the channels. It should help keep flow up a bit without compromising pressure.

 
Here is it all put together, but with hidden edges (basically interior design stuff) showing.:

We did the best we could with the entries we had.  Unfortunately it will hurt our overall chances but we did our best to fill the teams.

Hmm, just fishing in the dark here..
 
226W TEC x 2 = 452W
i7 @ 4.5Ghz + GTX 295 800/1200 = ~400-500W
 
I think, 2 of the TECs would give me pretty cold water. Ideally I would be able to go subzero, but I'd be happy with 10-40F. The problem isn't going to be the cost of the TECs, but the power they pull, and the block for them..

Rabid, no idea where your going with it.  The tecs go inside?  What is this for? GPU? cpu? mini chiller?
