Large Chillers

[bobhinkle]

I am looking on building or finding a chiller for getting rid of about 350+ watts of heat. I use a two xeon (110+watts each) plus gpu, and nb setup which runs about 100-120F on water cooling. I need to find a way to drop that much heat. Even the vapochillers don't have that much power.
Looking at something like this (https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2004051700271759&item=1-1302&catname=electric) Any ideas.

That probably wont work, as that tiny compressor is not meant to deal with an active heat load.

yeah, i did the calculations, my system puts out 1200 btu's and that one only covers 200. Anyone think of using a different exchanger besides water.

my system uses a beer chiller from a pub to chill about 5 litres of water in a resovoir. its currently cooling a single xp1700 @ 2500mhz and drops the water temps to roughly -7c (there is a lot of anti freeze in there ;) ) and the chip temp hits about +12c (due to poor mounting i think, it should be closer to +3c)

i'm not sure how big a heatload it could deal with but you will need to think seriously about cooling the room it is in because the compressor gets *very* hot and significantly raises the temperature of the room it is sitting in
