pics of that would be awesome dr/owned
I'll see about taking some sample pics. The setup spans a lot of my house so I don't want to post any wide angle shots.

sure as hell isn't portable but it's fucking cool, you win w/c'ing man
I like the UV light that dr/owned uses. I think I'm going to use my pool to chill my Q4 2016 build. If I add TECs I can pipe the extra heat into my pool. I always wanted to heat the thing. It maxes out around 76F in the summer.... and we use it every day. I think I'm in love with this idea.
TECs can pull a lot, but my computer is on the first floor and the main box is in the basement about 5' away. If I'm using the heat for something useful it makes me feel better about it. I can also setup a controller (I have a controls system background) so it only uses as much power as required to maintain xx temp. If the computer's idling it shouldn't need more than 300-400 watts.
so this is basically taking a radiator from say a h100 throwing it into a vat/pool of water and then keeping the water cool, more or less right?
Kinda speaking out loud here but still in awe of the solution, sorry to thread jack OP!

Has the cat ever fallen in? 1 degree C is very impressive. If OP was to use chilled water rather than a maybe-big-enough rad his temps would be really low. A 50% glycolish mix is supposed to go to -50C, which happens to be the same minimum on most TECs.
I'd be concerned with two things with OPs build:
1.) Not enough radiator for cooling CPU and GPU OC'd. Those are big rads... but this is kilowatts of power.
2.) TECs with too much wattage for the surface area. He'll lose a lot of his delta C just getting through the thermal resistance of the blocks, approximately half from my calculations.
I'm actually going to make a TEC setup and hook it up to my pool.... I got the idea from you dr/owned. "chilled water". In the winter I'll just pipe the heat into my house with one of those massive Airplex Gigant radiators. That way I capture the waste heat and do something useful with it. I'll eventually make a thread.
I do wish OP would return and give us some data.
