I am very interested in watercooling. Especially with plastic waterblocks(the one's using pvc pipe). I really want to make my own plastic waterblock but i can't find much tutorials on them. I did read all of the watercooling articles on this website and i'll go back to read some more later. But can someone give me some links that could help? I would appreciate it a lot.

Welcome to the forum! The best blocks out there are copper, not plastic. http://www.dangerden.com/ has the best quality blocks. I would have one right now if money wasn't an issue... :(

I believe he's talking about building a bong (PVC). Of course a PVC water block (the part that goes on the cpu) would be a recipe for disaster.

I think I know what PVC waterblock you are talking about. I saw one on some website (might have been overclockers.com, in fact I am pretty sure it was) and a few weeks later I tried it myself. I got a small heatsink from a 486-to-Pentium upgrade chip (it fits perfectly in a cut-off PVC pipe end cap) and JB Weld-ed it in the PVC cap. I drilled 2 small holes for inlet and outlet barbs and used aquarium airline 1/4" tubing and hooked it up to a pump. It worked well, but I did not want to permanently attach it to the Tbird withy epoxy, so the clip I ended up building was pretty ugly. But, it worked! As soon as my 8KHA arrives I will be back online with my Tbird (my PCChips board sucked) and I will post some pics.
