Flip through the pictures and look at this homemade watercooling setup.
Very impressive, includes a freaking car radiator.

yes thats kool i have to admit but would it really perform better than a standard water kooler. cuz isnt the lowest temp you can reach with water is the air temperature. and when you get down to it like the cpu block all that restriction ...bahhhh. i dont know

yeah I read thru that yesterday. And the temps that the guy got werent that good. And that was due to the ambient he was dealing with. But for what he did with that system it would have been better in invest in a window AC unit and he would have been better off.

I mean for the amount of money and time he went thru he really didnt succeed. He could have used alot less expensive parts and taken up alot less space and got the same results.

yeah dont use this as a "how to" for extreme water cooling. As this is not a good example at all.

I think that a good estimate is about $300 at least for all of the odds and ends. I think the pumps were $40 a piece. And the radiator cant be that cheap.
