What is this "watercooling list" you speak of? Is it a mailing list?

I know it's not applicable for lounge room based machines but I cant
help but comment here how blown away I've been with the Zalman Reserator
water cooling system I installed.
I have a large server rack in my office and have now installed 2 of them
to totally water cooled (except the power supplies and commercial
versions of them are now available as well) 2 of my pc servers and cant
believe how different the sound is (including double hard drive
coolers).
At the moment I'm designing a wall of water that will feed 4 separate
pumps and cover 1 entire side of my rack.
www.collins.net.pr/watercooling
There are a number of people on the watercooling list that are pumping
from a central location to multiple machines in separate rooms (1 is
even running a intercooler solution through his basement into a well :)
Just a suggestion.
Cheers,
Dean

I've got Myth running just fine on my
desktop P4, but I want
to add a fanless low power server to my
network so I can have
a Myth backend running 24/7 with minimal
noise and power, and
physical size.
Heatwise, you may be in trouble. My pcHDTV
HD-3000 cards (2) each
run pretty warmly. Not so hot I can't touch
them, but there is
definitely noticeable radiating heat ...
Yeah, I'm worried about that too. The case I was
planning on was the
Travla C158 Mini-ITX Case 120W. It's the perfect size
and it's
mountable. Unfortunately the the HD-3000 will be sitting
directly
over the HDD. I hoped to get address some of the heat
issues with a
HDD cooler like the Zalman ZM-2HC2
(http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=371018).
Would that be enough or am I just trying to fit too much
into too
small an area?
How would the HDD cooler help? All it does is increase the
surface
area for HDD heat dissipation, which still has to go
*somewhere*.
I'm actually wondering if the HD-3000 cards can robustly
withstand
their own heat without any active cooling. As for your SFF case,
only
one way to find out, I guess.
For acoustics, http://www.silentpcreview.com/ has lots of
information
for both full-size and SFF form factors (and fanless systems).
