it might be beneficial if the rad was stuck in between two high heat items, but the bong cooler is supposed to replace the rads as the heat exchanger.

What are they there for?  Do they have fans attached to them?  Where does the heat go?

I've never water cooled before so am unfamiliar with what various pumps can do. Any chance microcenter.com would have a pump that would suffice for, say, a 5 or 6 foot tower?

Thanks man, and would you recommend any particular fittings for this type of project? How bout hose size? : )  Looks like the hoses at MC are kind of pricey. Any alternate sources for acceptable hose that would not require ordering? (I can drive to Microcenter) Thanks again for putting this info up.

I am holding off until I pic up another MCP 655 probably in the next few weeks.  that pump owns my other ones.  They just do not like pumping up to the 7 feet required.  So now I am running straight water to my chipsets, and chiller to GPU's and CPU.  maybe some decent runs tomorrow? 

you can just run the hose like you said.  I just did it cause thats how I roll (and I have a 1/2" pipe tap)  This Thursday I will hopefully pick up a MCP-655 for this bong cooler alone.  I plan on running this daily when my chiller is not in operation. 

So that means more pictures to follow.  I really don't take that much when my office is in shambles.  Once I get this project finished, I will more then likely tidy the room up, and go crazy with the pictures.

have you ever seen irrigation spray heads , there are some that mist the water, just as you require and i do belive that the head pressure doesn't need to be to high

No i havent?  send me a link to one... I'll try just about anything.

try this, not exactly misting but very fine           call them they might have something

Man I'd hate to have to clear that thing solo. The ol' lungs ain't what they used to be.

HA HA!!

I have a pretty full machine shop and looking @ those links of the mister heads got me thinking....

those sprinkler heads may be useful but just not deliver the "misting" result.
The orifice is more than likely to large depending on the gpm of the pump being used.

The brass heads used in those pics look quite similar to those used in LP and natural gas furnaces.
(can be found in plumbing/heating supply houses very cheap)

The orifices in LP and natural heads are sooooo small and may give  "misting"  with a much less gpm pump.
The smaller the hole=more of a mist with less gpm pump. to small or not enough and the pump may get damaged.
A manifold with 3-10+- very fine orifices may give a desired result. (I will be attempting this with various pumps)

Also sold @ these locations are drill tap sets for clearing/ enlarging. like the diff of a blond and brunnett hair.
they are incredibly small and break very easily so care is needed (no coffee)

BTW
If you have an LP  gas funace in your house then there is a very good chance that you have a small bag with 3-6
of these brass orifices lingering on, around or inside the furnace cover.

 I've been ripping through boxes and drawers and making piles on the floor of anything that may be useful.
      
so far,
        brass fittings by the 100's 
        transfer pumps of all sizes 8 and counting
        LP conversion kits 
        Air compressor fittings (100+) and 7 of these manifolds http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Air-Compressors-Tools-Accessories-Air-Tool-Accessories-Hoses/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5Zbb3n/R-100014272/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
        etc etc etc

    1st thing I want to do is just get a water circut going and test the spray pattern of different nozzles and keep a log of water pressure used.

Also found some high velocity sealed dc motors  and 50+ fan blades (motors from the kids RC cars and airplanes days)
 
As for the mist collecting on the pipe walls. Was thinking of a tube inside a tube with more air turbulance. sealed motor recirculating.
will  photoshop a quick pic. 
aim imo would be a closed loop.

    

where the heck are the munchies, you know that CPU is gunna get hungry 

PhotoShop skillz arent gr8 but anyway,
my thoughts (not always great) would be to keep the air moving rapidly without losing the vapors.
A (or multiple) high velocity fan(s) with sealed motor would work provided there were baffles upstream to collect large droplets.
Just a thought and what I will be starting soon.  will be leaving the "to/from loop" out for awhile.
The large tube shown could be finned copper/aluminum with air circ  (at least something thin enough to disapate heat (not pvc))
