More Money Than Brains - a water cooled cab build

[bicit]

You could do it too, just get a refrigerator and put a temperature controller on it...but, idk if the thing would actually cool or not with a bunch of lights in it.

Just have to braze some copper tubing onto those heatsinks, get youself a condenser and compressor, some 134a and youre off to the races.

Wont vouch for the stealth when the compressor kicks on though...

I'm sure a window unit could be modified to work. However one would want a custom heat sink and that could be spendy.

There is also water chillers that would probably work really well for larger and/or high power emitters.

. I could turn a big tote or something into a huge reservoir but it would take up a lot of space and not save me much money, apparently. Also, I'd be risking gallons of water on the floor instead of less than half a gallon. I think the main things we get out of the reservoir is protection from the pump running dry when filling and over time as water slowly evaporates through the tubing.

What about a fish tank? Heat your tropical tank with your cab?

Bravo! Can't wait for the report

Velcro. Genius. Hopefully they stay cool enough so that the Velcro adhesive doesn't fail. Some staples might help it stay put though.

Neodymium Magnets would be a good option too.... on the back of the heat sink and ceiling.
