how to built cooling tower?

Great question, as a Senior SAP Instructor my advice is the following:  The job you are planning is very complicated and requires knowledge in a broad range of fields to include Metal/Steel work, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, permits, architecture.  Therefore the right partners will make this successful.\n\nThe most important thing to start is to align yourself with a good HVAC contractor that has done jobs of the size you are outlining (i.e. how many sqft is the building, how much common area space, how many buffer zones, how many heat/cooling pumps would be required (assuming closed loop system).  It is likely that this HVAC contractor will have acquaintances that can help and also be able to make recommendations on equipment based on experience (I've put up 6 large EVAPCO towers as a proj mgr).\n\nFrom here your HVAC guys should be able to enumerate the remaider of the concerns.  Bear in mind you'll be dealing with things like; new penetrations through the roof to accomodate facilities feeding the tower, the need architect and manufacture steel to specification and later install those girders to support the tower.  You'll need at least a 20ton crane to boom the unit to the top, you may need to consider building a shadowbox around the unit so it's nicer in appearance and so forth.  Don't forget the permits you may require from the local municipalities either.\n\nGood luck,\n\nAlfredo

How far below?\n\nWater has quite a high thermal conductivity value.  Depressing the freezing point can be obtained by adding a salt, such as table salt (sodium chloride) or even calcium chloride.  Maple Leaf Gardens (the old NHL hockey arena in Toronto, Ontario) use to use a brine (salt water) solution in the cooling system to keep the ice frozen.\n\nIf you weren't worried about corrosion, you could try a brine (saturated salt solution) in your cooling system.  Water has a thermal conductivity of approximately k=5 to 6 mW/cm/K (relative to carbon tetrachloride or toluene being close to 1 and still able to go well below 0C/32F and remain liquid).  (CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry...do your own unit conversions)\n\nDon't let the brine leak though....

Fan Controller, Temperature Gauges, Floppy, Card Reader, Hard Drive if you can get it to fit..thats where I have mine so the water cooling pump had more room..Or just save a spot for all of your wires to hide.\n\nNewegg.com\nTigerDirect.com\nXoxide.com\nPcToys.com

Fan, then chicken wire, then hay, then chicken wire.\nMake the hay and wire the same size square as the fan.\nThe hay should be about 6" thick.\nPlastic pipe with 3/64 holes every 6" across the top of the hay.\nConnect a hose to 1 end and cap the other.\nTurn on water little by little until you get a trickle from the holes.\nTurn on the fan.\nSwamp cooler!

Since this is a school project, your teacher probably wants to you to learn more than just how to build one.  \n\nLearn to use the library.  Learn to use internet search engines.  Learn to spell what you want to build.  Learn to be self reliant.

CPU temperature IS and issue and should not normally run over 55 C.  On most of today's faster chips that generate alot of heat you must have a good heatsink and a good fan which should be packaged with the CPU if you have installed this yourself, or designed for the system by the engineers who have designed the system.\n\nIn some cases, especially if you do not have adequate cooling in the room, your only recourse is to maximize airflow thru the case or retrofit the system with some sort of liquid cooling to dissipate the heat (not the preferred method $$$).  Try putting the case on the floor and installing a case fan that can be installed easily (80mm) in order to exhaust heat from the case.  Make sure the unit has adequate access to ventilation and consider buying a more substantial CPU fan that can be mounted using Thermal Interface Material grease which is slopped on between the heatsink and the chip to improve heat transfer.  You can get a fan for $8, fan for $20, grease kit couple 'o bucks...\n\nGood Luck (55 ain't so bad, but over extended periods may decrease the lifespan of the cpu).

cooling it or pressurized it

not too hard, especially if the video card isn't water cooled. if it is the only extra steps would be to remove the cooling solution from the new card and installing the water block.

6 fans are all well and good but if there not actually all blowing the same way then its not going to help you much. you need a flow in and out of the tower. Also i would check to make sure your processor fan is correctly secure with plenty of paste. 1 processor fan should keep ur system cool enuff to run. Although 2 extra is better to actually circulate air around the case

what are we trying to do? Remove heat from the computer so it does not burn up. One way is to bring cool air and push out warm air. \n\nA fan does that and oh Yeah ....... it really really low cost.\nAnything else will increase the cost and you don't really want to do that do you. The more it costs to build it the more you pay for it.\n\nYes there other methods ... I know all of them but they all cost more money .....

the main components that heat up are the ones that use more electricity under load, so basically everything =P\n\nok your CPU, your graphics processor, hard drives, and ram heat up badly under load, like with video games, or dvd rendering.  \n\nI liquid cool my machine, but on the family machine i have a HeatPipe style heatsink, and a good fan circulation system through the rest of the case.  also, and I am unsure of your skill level, a good thermal compound between the cpu and the heatsink/waterblock makes a big difference. \narctic silver is the best compound.  also make sure your computer is in a well ventilated area, the fan holes in the back arent blocked, and its not dusty in your case.  canned air will solve that if it is.\n\nalso getting round cables instead of ribbon cables helps move airflow.\ni think the best solution for the least money and least amount of work is the heatpipe.  usually you have to take your motherboard off, but you dont have to deal with water pumps and hoses inside your computer.

I don't think this question can be answered without more details.  What kind of tower?  Do you have an example of one?  Do you want pictures?

There should be openings for the fans in the back or on the bottom. Just listen and look in those areas to see if you can see or feel the fans spinning. Make sure the area is not blocked when you are using it and being in front of an air conditioner would help. There are also laptop cooling pads that plug into the USB port that you might be able to find.

I can't help you build one from scratch, but SkyMall sells a kit to set one up.  Go to http://www.skymall.com and do a search for ice rink.

With insulation.  Put it between walls or floors.

The air in your computer should circulate, if you have two fans, you should make one an air intake and the other an outtake.\n\nIf you only got one fan, make it take out the warm air in the computer

try to upgrade your cooling fan for a bigger one...and adding another system fan to your cpu...that might help
