Well, I made mention of it in another post so I guess I better officially post my pics and my explanation of the setup.
Been doing Bitcoin for almost a year now. Started with one rig that is running with 4 5850s using box fan to keep system cooled. Ive been using the spare bed room since its just a storage room for now. Main advantage is that I can keep the room closed and keep the noise to a min.
Of course I wanted to expand to more rigs, but I did not want to overload the breaker for the room. I don't have any other spare rooms, and I cant have a rig with a box fan in a usable room. So I decided to make up a submersion rig. Ive seen these for years on youtube and I always wanted to try it. So this was my chance. The advantage was that I could place the rig in the garage and since the system will be "sealed" I don't have to worry about dirt, bugs, mice, etc getting into the computer like if I used a traditional air cooled rig.
So after alot of digging and planning and errors I got it going. It is not running at 100% yet, only cause I greatly underestimated the cooling needs with 4 video cards. I do have a triple radiator on order with some high speed fans, so that should give me the cooling required to run the cards at full speed.
It runs very quiet. Only sound you hear is the fans since the pump is submerged.
