Check This out - A Homemade Passive Water Cooling System

Overclockers.com: PC Water Cooling with a Passive Radiator



Even though it is assumed that the concrete floor is conducting the heat from the radiator, the garage ambient temperature seems to have an influence on the water temperature. For most of the year the garage air temperature should be 14-15 degrees C. On rare occasions the garage air temperature will rise to 28 degrees C and above. Therefore on average, it is predicted the CPU temperature will be below 30 degrees C.

In conclusion, it appears both project objectives were achieved. The computer is very quiet with only the power supply fans turning at low RPM, and, on average, the CPU temperature will likely be 30 degrees C or less.
