20% part 2 new ideas

This week I made lots of progress on the project.  Above is a picture of me testing some of the parts that I plan on selling. Besides testing the part I had the idea to cool only the CPU.  Many people gave me feed back that they wanted to see me sell a product like this and it just was not possible to allow for lots of compatibility and still have the GPU cooler.  When I decided to remove the GPU cooling I found that the product I am proposing is not very different from currently existing products.  The way I will make my product standout is by allowing to to be customization.  All current pre-filled CPU coolers are mass produced and dont have any customization options.  My product would allow people to pick the tubing and coolant that they want.  I hope to later expand it to more options.  I also found that with out the GPU cooler the price has been significantly reduced.

Liquid cooled computer part one

 The past week I have spent way too much time planning my 20% project.  I have been spending my free time just thinking about how everything will work.  Above is a picture of my current plan.  The red and blue symbolize the temperature of the water.  As you can see my current plan involves cooling both the CPU and GPU with two radiators.  I think I need to spend more time raising funds.  In my plan I have raising funds before picking parts, but I have spent most of my time so far on designing the layout and picking parts.  To raise funds I plan on selling an old CPU that I am not using as well as a video card and a motherboard.  Right now I estimate the cost around $300 but I could cut that in half if I decided not to cool the GPU.
