This is the DIY version...

As for prices... you're gonna have to do some digging...:eyesmoke:

SOG may be able to help...

Here is SOG's DIY set up...

With the res, the chiller and the radiator...

alright alright. google it is. thanks for the pic tho! setup looks like my best option.

i got a 18x36 shop with 14' ceilings... its 85 in there consistantly... think that exact setup would drop me 10*F?
 
Then, I would come over here and show you this diagram...

I am sure you know all this... but I have learned that pictures make it easy for me...

If you are looking to have control of the temps in your op... this is the recommended way to install fans and such...


This is exactly how I have always setup my rooms too, with the addition of 2 oscillating fans inside the room.

Sure.. I have them too... and the intake blower is optional... passive intake is just fine in a lot of cases...:eyesmoke:

sorrrry to butttt in :eyesmoke:
i have been running 2 600w for about a year off one outlet with all my fans and stuff on the same line...if i add another 2 600w and use a different outlet but on the same breaker would it trip the breaker?
normal 15amp breaker...
if so... what if i used the 2 new 600w in a diff room on a diff breaker would that work? ...
hope that all makes sense, im not the electrical type but hopefully someone here can help:bigjoint:

A breaker will generally trip at 80% of it's rated load, so don't try to draw more than 12a from a 15a breaker. You can work out your current draw with Ohm's law, voltage (v) is equal to power in watts (w) divided by current (i) so to find the current, divide your wattage, say 1440, by the voltage, 120 and you have a current of 12 amps, the maximum your breaker can handle.
If two outlets are on the same breaker then the combined total of the two outlets should not exceed this limit. If it's on a different breaker then it's fine.
Next time start a new thread instead of posting in someone else's, it's considered bad form.
