DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(FIG. 1) An all nonferrous metal computer case with a liquid storage tank integrated to the bottom of the case, with one outlet tubing connector for the radiator/heat exchanger and one inlet tubing connector for each heat source, And a liquid storage tank integrated to the top of the case, with one inlet tubing connector from the radiator/heat exchanger, and with one outlet tubing connector for each heat source. A radiator/heat exchanger is integrated into the side panel(s) of the case, with one inlet tubing connector at the bottom and one outlet tubing connector at the top, connected to the upper liquid storage tank. The top liquid storage tank is to have a fill cap at the highest point. This configuration can be used with a lower volume pump, and take advantage of the gravity feed to the heat source and quieter operation.
(FIG. 1) An all nonferrous metal computer case with a liquid storage tank integrated to the bottom of the case, with one inlet tubing connector, and one outlet tubing connector for each heat source, And a liquid storage tank integrated to the top of the case, with one inlet tubing connector for each heat source, and with one outlet tubing connector for the radiator/heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is integrated into the side panel(s) of the case, with one inlet tubing connector at the top and one outlet tubing connector at the bottom. The top liquid storage tank is to have a fill cap at the highest point. This reverse flow configuration can be used with a higher volume pump and will take advantage of the cooler liquid in the lower liquid storage tank.
(FIG. 2) Each side panel of the case is also a radiator/heat exchanger. The side panels are made of nonferrous metal with pathways for liquid circulation and with heat dissipating fins. Each panel has one inlet connector at beginning of pathway for liquid and one outlet connector at an end of a pathway for liquid circulation.
(FIG. 3) The top of case is also a liquid storage tank made of nonferrous metal. Optional heat dissipating fins can be added to the liquid storage tank. An optional radiator/heat exchanger can be used for the other side panel of case for more heat dissipation.
(FIG. 4) The nonferrous metal body of the case is also a liquid storage and radiator/heat exchanger, wherein the case itself stores liquid in the lower and upper portion of the case and the side panel(s) of the enclosure have heat dissipating fins with pathways for liquid to circulate therethrough.

## Claims

1. A computer case comprising: a primary radiator having two ends and including a first serpentine coiled tube for flowing a cooling liquid through the primary radiator, the first serpentine coiled tube having at least one connection nipple for introducing the cooling liquid into the first serpentine coiled tube; a first liquid storage tank having a first plurality of connection nipples for introducing the cooling liquid into the first liquid storage tank, the first liquid storage tank having two ends such that one of the two ends of the first liquid storage tank is attached directly to one of the two ends of the primary radiator; and, a second liquid storage tank having a second plurality of connection nipples for introducing the cooling liquid into the second liquid storage tank, the second liquid storage tank having two ends such that one of the two ends of the second liquid storage tank is attached directly to the other one of the two ends of the primary radiator.

2. The computer case as recited in claim 1, wherein the liquid coolant can be stored within the computer case to cool a computer within the case.

3. The computer case as recited in claim 2, wherein the computer case is made of a non-ferrous metal.

4. The computer case as recited in claim 1, wherein the computer case is made of a non-ferrous metal.

5. The computer case as recited in claim 1, further including a secondary radiator having two ends and including a second serpentine coiled tube for flowing the cooling liquid through the secondary radiator, the second serpentine coiled tube having at least one another connection nipple for introducing the cooling liquid into the second serpentine coiled tube.

6. The computer case as recited in claim 5, wherein the liquid coolant can be stored within the computer case to cool a computer within the case.

7. The computer case as recited in claim 5, wherein the computer case is made of a non-ferrous metal.

8. The computer case as recited in claim 5, wherein the secondary radiator is disposed such that one of the two ends of the secondary radiator is attached directly to the other of the two ends of the first liquid storage tank and such that the other of the two ends of the secondary radiator is attached directly to the other of the two ends of the second liquid storage tank.

9. The computer case as recited in claim 8, wherein the liquid coolant can be stored within the computer case to cool a computer within the case.

10. The computer case as recited in claim 8, wherein the computer case is made of a non-ferrous metal.
