Koolance Liquid Cool Cases

I am thinking about buying this Koolance Case with water cooling http://www.xoxide.com/koolancepc2.html

Anyone have any good/bad comments about his water cooling solution.

 

I guess noone has ever used the Koolance water-cooled cases?

 

I have not used this case my self, but a buddy of mine has one for his system. He seems to like it and it has given him no problems. Here is a review i found for that exact case.

Thanks

 

thanks!!!!!

 

I have put 4 of those together...the only problems I have found.

In a hot room check the water often......Don't use there clamps.
For some reason in a hot room 85-90F with thier clamps it will leak.
replace them with small C clamps no problem.

 

or just use the properly rated metal clamps from your local hardware store. it should be leak proof as long as you A: put the clamps right behind the nipple of the connector, and B: clamp it hard enough so that the metal is flush or at a lower level with the rest of the tubing.

 

Thanks for the info. I guess the last thing I want to know before I buy one.....

Is it alot quieter than my computer is now? I know, you don't know what my computer is but it has 2 side 80mm fans, 1 60mm rear fan and 1 120mm top fan. I had to buy a fan controller to quiet these fans. Basically, I see that it has three fans on top of the case. Is it really that much quieter than other computers?

 

I would say YES 40% to 50% quieter....those 120mm are loud.

And the koolance water cooling fans will auto adjust with the temp

 

My Koolance case was great till it the clamps failed and started leaking at a 6-8months; have reverted back to aircooled; shame =/ Other then that it is VERY quiet compared to these damn lawn mowers i have in my case now 2nd koolance case ive built hasnt failed @ all.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I still wish I coud hear one running in person though.
