Here are some pictures from installing my new and upgraded
water cooling system. It has bigger and better hoses than
my previous attempt. And this time I have some good idea of what
to put in the water to prevent rust and bacteria growth.

Here is the Senfu radiator that I am working on.
I have followed these instructions
to be able to attach 3/8" hose to the radiator. I have also
replaced the noisy fans that came with the radiator with fairly
quiet cyclone slot fans.

Here you can see how I attached the fans to the radiator.
I had to drill some holes, and I used regular computer case
screws.

I hooked up the fans serially so that each fan would get 6
volts. The fans still work and produce a decent airflow, but
generate very little noise.

This is what it looks like when put together. I added a little
foam rubber to make sure that the air would go through the
radiator properly.

This is the way it will look in operation.

Here is what i looks like installed.
I used some zip-ties to hold the brass parts in place, and
you can see the temperature sensor in there.
The black hose is actually for drip-irrication, it seems to
be much more kink-resistant than the green hose I used
last time.
