Computer cooling system

Abstract

A water-cooling system for computer electronic components, particularly the central processing unit. The system has a cooling unit adjacent to, and below, the central processing unit. The intake and outlet ports into and from the cooling unit are insulated with a water-absorbent material and below the cooling unit is a drip pan adapted to collect water being discharged from the cooling unit caused by any leak occurring therein. The drip pan has a plurality of parallel spaced-apart angled blades adapted to deflect dripping water to an adjacent blade covering the former blade.

1 . A computer cooling system for use with a computer having a central processing unit and other electronic components on its motherboard, said cooling system comprising:
 a water-cooling unit in adjacency to and below the central processing unit, said water-cooling unit having a base, a chamber for receiving water, an intake port connected to said water-cooling unit to receive said water from an external radiator and an outlet port connected to said water-cooling unit to return said water to the external radiator.   
   
   
       2 . The computer cooling system of  claim 1  further comprising a water-absorbent component covering said intake port at its connection point to said water-cooling unit and covering said outlet port at its point of connection to said water-cooling unit. 
   
   
       3 . The computer cooling system of  claim 1  further comprising a drip pan adjacent to and below said water-cooling unit, said drip pan having a bottom and upstanding walls around said bottom. 
   
   
       4 . The computer cooling system of  claim 3  wherein said drip pan comprises a plurality of angled blades substantially parallel to each other wherein each blade has a bottom end connected to the bottom of said drip pan and a top end extending and angling upward. 
   
   
       5 . The computer cooling system of  claim 4  wherein said plurality of blades are angled from the bottom upward at approximately between 20° to approximately 60°. 
   
   
       6 . The computer cooling system of  claim 4  wherein the top end of one of said plurality of blades extends over and beyond the bottom end of an adjacent one of said plurality of blades.
