Well early this week I a couple shipments in this week. here is my progress.

From Danger Den
RBX Intel 478 Cpu Waterblock
Maze 4 Z chipset Waterblock
Maze 4 GPU waterblock
Tweakmonster BGA ramsinks

From Mc Master
Clearflex 60 1/2" ID Tubing
Hose Clamps

So that leaves me needing a radiator and a pump. A trip to autozone and i got the following

1977 boniville Heatercore
p/n GDI 399078

the clear flex could be streched over the tubes but thats to easy and doesnt give much clamping room if you cut the tubes down. so another trip this time to lowes.

1/2" copper pipe to 1/2" npt fitting
1/2" NPT to 1/2" hose barb.
Copper Pipe solder kit
benzomatic mapp torch

so now ive got a modded heatercore with 1/2" hose barbs. pictures to follow.
 
nice. i hope you can mount the nb thing right becuz they others have problem mounting it right and ended up chippin it. how much did you spend in total? looking forward to the pictures.
 
$175 at danger den.
$20 autozone for the heatercore
probably about $10 at lowes for the fittings. $50 for torch and soldering kit.
so for $205 not incl tools.

edit: anyone else thinking of using this core make sure that you at least cut the tubes down, one of the tubes has a plastic restrictor in it which isnt want we want.
