12 Delta fans!

This is with all 12 Delta fans running. Enjoy!

This is a water cooling setup for a custom computer! There are three Black Ice SR1 480 radiators under those 12 fans.

Since the Deltas are very effective at moving tons of air (theoretically a maximum of 3000 cubic feet/minute with 12 fans!), we wanted to use them, but they are so noisy. Thus the Baffle Box was designed to absorb the noise and route the air flow through baffles.

Does this beat water cooling?

[MansellRa]

@deanschreiber12 It is watercooling!

[wrx318]

you relise that putting that lid on top is stoping air from getting in so really your not pushing much air at all

[MansellRa]

@wrx318 There is an air inlet in the front of the box and an exhaust out the back. So there is a rather good flow through there! I did cut the first level above the fans back a bit to open it up a bit more.

Extra 200 Watt power supply? I don't think you will need anything above 200 Watts to drive all those unless they are drawing above 1.3amps each. Ohms law is your friend.

[MansellRa]

@TickyTack23 Actually they pull 3.75amps apiece for 45watts apiece and thus 540watts total.

Thought the point of water cooling was to eliminate some of the noise?

[TommyDDoom]

LOL are you need to freeze a nuclear plant?

[seroyer2]

@MansellRa Ya I commented before I saw him put the baffle in.

[Tro1086]

@cgountanis My thoughts exactly. I think you could cool about 8 systems with that setup, or a Mack truck.

[MansellRa]

@seroyer2 The whole point of the Baffle Box is so that it can be inside the house! Much quieter. Otherwise, it would need to be outside.

I felt the air going up in my room.

[TheRealGeriBoss]

It sounds evil!

[splendens]

Does it fly too?
