Well seeing as those fancy kingpin pots go for a few hundred each and all, I was thinking I would build my own cheap little pot.

So far the only idea's I've come up with are either a very small pot (well, more like a saucepan), but the copper ones are a bit expensive. Maybe aluminum, but of course that's aluminum and all....

The other thing is getting a small copper 1u/2u heatsink and taking all the fins out, and then taking a wide copper tube and welding/gluing/cheaply attaching it to the ex-heatsink.

Is there any other way to go about doing this? (Or at least do it for under 50$)
 
saucpan is probs ur best bet. its what im looking into. ofc you wont get as good heat transfer as a pot but its better than air cooling with dice :D:beer:
 
Goodwill/Salvation Army pots
2nd hand stores in general
Flea Markets

a pot is a pot right?
