Here is my latest creation. I would say that due to the heat density of the chips any proper waterblock would need to be rather weighty. Still fluctuations in air temperature do not affect it which is nice.
EDIT: Also a parallel setup going to each cluster separately would work much better than serially as shown here.

Nice rig Cablez, like it a lot. Any project going on a custom made waterblock here?
Info
Very nice rig/setup and nice room to use for this kind of setup!
Info on cool rig!
Sweet rig, was it difficult to setup?
Btw the tiny card next to the 7990 Devil 13 is a standard size 7950 
Damn it's a beast!
*proud*
No mining rigs plugged it yet, obviously.
Nice! I love using my two raspberrys. They are so good to what I use them for, small and low power.
I can recommend this case, a little bit expensive but its cool

Information
Nice rig, I like it what you have done!
To answer some of your questions:
I am using mineral oil. Though around here the only mineral oil that I can get local is used as a farm animal laxative. I can order it online, but the shipping kills me. One Gallon jugs are already $15 each and this rig is using a 20 gallon tank, though only using 15 gallons. There are videos of people using vegetable/cooking oil, but while its cheaper, you have to change out the oil after several months. Mineral oil, if kept covered, should last years (tested by one company for over 5 years to date)
The setup was not that hard. I was going on ideas and guesses. I could have bought the kit from a company for $500 but it would only hold 3 dbl slot cards. Since I was piecing it together there was a lot of error to get pieces right, but with experience I know what to expect now.
The idea of submerging it for me at least, is the advantage that you don't need to buy water blocks for your cards. Each block can cost you 80-100 each, that is if you have a current video card. Since most miners (imo) use older cards, harder to find water blocks.
For me it was the fact that I could keep the computer in a "dirty" location, and not worry about the computer getting covered in dirt or bugs. Plus keeping it in the garage takes care of any noise issues. There is a night and day difference between air rig and oil rig with noise and possible heat, but there is also a 2x-4x cost difference between the air and oil. So it comes down to need or desire.
Ill post of a video of air rig and oil rig after I get my triple Rad installed and get the oil rig running at 100%. I think my issue is now that all the cards running 100% heats the oil up enough that it causes the USB controller on the motherboard to overheat and it reboots, but it hangs while initializing the USB controller. The big downside to the oil rig, is it heats up everything. So if one thing has a low threshold, then everything fails. The rig would work on air, if I had a box fan blowing directly through it (not in the tank). So I know it will work, just need enough cooling.
So expect some video this weekend.

Thanks for answering our questions, I am looking forward to the video
. Mah minin' rig!
It runs at 2 MF/s (megaferrets per second)

OMG! Cool and scary at the same time! Seems like the best watch-ferrets as well

How does your boss like you running a rig at work?
I use the don't ask, don't tell approach
. But I would imagine it will come up sometime so I will tell them what it is. I wouldn't see the problem. It's probably near silent because of water cooling.
One of the reasons I used water cooling.
Awesome job with the watercooling!
Thanks rjk!
