Mods:
I built a custom case for my Vapochill LS to match Lian Li PC-70 case and kept the clean industrial look.

This is my main system for work, gaming and benching.

Looks nice from the outside. Do you have any shots of it open so we can view the cables,etc.?

I like it so far,,, but where's the rest of them Inside pictures.

Lian Li cases are the best!...Impressive, considering that the only enclosers made for that "chiller" are for cases no larger than PC-65's (or mid towers)!!! Nice job!..9/10...How high is your condensation risk with that fridge? AND, what is your noise level like?

[thoughtdisorder]

Very nice indeed! 9/10.

First of all thanks for the high rating, although some of the photos show pretty messed up. I didn't have the opportunity to get some nice photos when everything was clean and in place - for this I apologize.

The noise levels are normal (considering I have a compressor and all) I would say like a normal aircooled system. In you notice my Vapochill case is closed to the sides an the only 'input/output' is through the intake and outtake which keeps the noise down. Plus it creates a wind tunnel that air flows and in the process cools down the compressor (the large aluminum sheet sides cool down the air too). The normal temps are ~ -50 -51 degrees at the evaporator - under load (which is 4,9GHz) - which means the design works.

I get no condensation since I am using heat plates and all.

AMAZING rig. VapoChill is an awesome product for sure. NICE! 9/10. Check my rig out!

No apology necessary mate! Awesome rig you've got, I'm jealous!

I voted 5/10 because:

Other then the phase change it looks like any other build. Wires needs some tidying up a bit and also with so much room in that case why is your water cooling under the desk?

[HighT3ch]

The water cooling is under the desk, because under the desk there is a huge tank (25lt ~ 6.6gallons), compressor and large radiator of my custom (freezer) chiller. With this setup it is impossible to have these on the desk or inside the case :)

I know that other than the custom case for the vapo, the system looks plain, but this is what I want - plain/clean industrial look.

@batmang - very nice and tidy system you got there, I like it.
