arnoldma said:a good water block costs about $40-50, and same price for a good radiator, but u can get those from old cars, and then there is pump which would be abother $30-40 i think, then there is the tubing, distilled water or dioinised water, and other small things.
so $60 is possible if u make everything urself inc. water block, but other wise i'd say it's gonna be hard.
for a good setup u'd be looking at $150ish
(correct me if im wrong, im still new at WC, sorry)
Caeberos said:If you have a drill press you should be able to make a #rotor style water block without too much difficulty. Other than that, the only new block in your price range is the Una block on becooling. If you have time to wait until you get 100 posts you can always check the classifieds.
Concerning lans: As long as you have the pump bolted down, and all your fittings tightened properly you should be fine, just as long as you are willing to carry around your heavy @$$ system . And you want a t-line instead of a res in your system. This will make it so that shaking your system, and turning it upside down will not be as much of a danger.

I was looking at the African Queen (the home built w/c system from www.overclockers.com) and i thought i could make something like that. I know a guy who works at a machine shope so if i gave him specs he could prolly do it for cheap, and my grandfather is pretty good with that kind of drill and such as well.
