spfoam!!!!! I LOVE IT! You rock man. Im gonna use this on my 4870x2 benchin coming up :P

Any ideas where to jumper the thermostat?

Well, if you're gonna cut the thermo probe line to jumper it like I did, give yourself some space to re-attach it later in case you wanna re-use it. Else, use a jumper in place of the temp probe that takes care of the thermostat duties.

Yep......another one is hooked.

That is neat. I would think that the "closed loop" principle would not work on the AC unit as it adds too much resistance decreasing efficiency. Since it worked so well for you I guess not :)

Sidenote though. Since you built a box for the AC unit, you could also just have built your PC into the AC box. No need for ducting then and might even help a degree or two since you will not be warming the air running it through a couple feet of uninsulated dryer ducting :)

Putting cold air into my rad box cools my loop temp considerably
