In Greek the metal was known by the name chalkos (χαλκός). Copper was a very important resource for the Romans, Greeks and other ancient peoples. In Roman times, it became known as aes Cyprium (aes being the generic Latin term for copper alloys such as bronze and other metals, and Cyprium because so much of it was mined in Cyprus). From this, the phrase was simplified to cuprum, hence the English copper. Copper was associated with the goddess Aphrodite/Venus in mythology and alchemy, owing to its lustrous beauty, its ancient use in producing mirrors, and its association with Cyprus, which was sacred to the goddess. In astrology, alchemy the seven heavenly bodies known to the ancients were associated with seven metals also known in antiquity, and Venus was assigned to copper.
This project was an entry for the OCN Case Mod Comp '09 but I get disqualified today (June 30, 2009) for posting some ramdom pictures on my site and some videos on youtube but anyway I learn a lot! So I don't have to keep this project in the shadows anymore...!!!
Enjoy it!
The Plan (December 01, 2008)
Build the ultimate and most innovative Water Cooling system ever seen.
Over time I have seen all the components of a computer change periodically, since the introduction of the water cooling system has been poorly updated. So I decided to create my own Water Cooling System "CypriUm - The Ultimate Water Loop Case".
I'll use the same measures as a Full ATX Case and I'll follow the Water Cooling traditional parameters, using 1/2" copper pipes, radiator, reservoir, water blocks (CPU and GPU) and hoses, the difference will be the integration of these components with the design of the case.
Things that I want to accomplish:
- Custom Made Reservoir (Not like the Original Plan but better)
- Custom Water Loop (Done)
- Less Tubing � More AirFlow (Done)
- Less Cable (Done)
- Unique Shape (Done)
Sub-Mods #1 PSU - Mod (Done) #2 Graphic Card Mod (Done) #3 SATA Sleeving (Done) #4 120mm Case Fan Mod (Done) #5 Custom Power Button (Done)
Finally after 2 weeks smashing my head in the walls finally found the final CM part... sooo... now this is what you will see in the next pictures 2x Cooler Master Socket 370 Heatsinks but what I'll in the next few post... is a Custom Ram Cooler :D so that confirm my entry to the CM Case Modding Comp. as I don't need anything to enter the NMC-Case Modding Showdown 09 this proyect will be completed after I make the Custom Ram Cooler :D the final piece of the puzzle... so excited...!!! Probably I'll start to build the cooler tonight jejejeje... 11:20pm here in New York... 8/25/2009
So I decided to remove all possible heat from the case, everyone knows that the hard drive, PSU and even the Pump radiate heat so I figured out how to keep the loop at a very nice temp by keep cool those components.
