I was a HP Engineer back in the day, and we had a server that I got called out to with 2 dead hard drives. (they were 10,000rpm SAS drives) and it was brand new, tens of thousands of dollars server. I came in and saw the case was off. They said that because it was in a hot room, they took the case lid off to keep it cool. I showed them the warning on the sides of the case that say don't run it with the case off for more than a moment. Then took my temperature probe and showed them the temp of the hdd, it was almost 100 degrees. I left the probe pressed to the hard drives, and closed the lid, and showed them the temperature drop to below 40 degrees in less than a minute, because now all those beefy fans were pulling air past the drives like they should be instead of through the open case. Even after me telling them what happened at head office, HP in their usual style still authorized the replacement of the very expensive drives under warranty.

[@HopingforPower]

isn't it strange that the ps5 fried just because of that? modern components are very good at protecting themselves, you can run a modern cpu without heatsink and enter windows and do stuff without it dying. Although very very slowly and it will most likely force shutdown. But frying is uncommon these days. Especially on a stock component.

I personally couldn't care less about how the power brick and the radiator are external components tucked away somewhere, I'm doing the same thing at home with dual chamber design case mods. While you still may have to worry about galvanic corrosion, this build is so appealing, but at the same time so... daunting, I wouldn't have the courage to tackle it, despite being a person who both solders his own electronics and builds his own enclosures.

Just a tip from a plumber you should make the inlet on part you branched off with a smaller run have a much larger opening than it's outlet. This will force water through on the supply side. It might be good to design it to almost scoop the water out of the supply side so the flowing water has a portion "scooped" into the channel, creating an area of higher pressure that will force it through the seperate channel. Just my two cents. This is an incredible built, well done.
