Water cooling for ~$75 and under

[hpotter]

Does anyone know of a good water cooling system for around $75US. I do not have access to a lot of tools. It can be a kit or whatever. Thanks

i have a great one!
you make it!
i did but its not all together! you could mill your own block or buy one with a clamping device,
and i got a maxijet 1200 wich pumps 296gph and is small for 19.99 http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=PA&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=Maxijet&Product_Code=MJ1200
i got some 3/8in hose from hardware hank,
a heater core from my uncle that i modified and made smaller,
the block was crap so im waithing for more money,
i actually made the block for free!
and i made a resivore out of a maple syrup bottle and one of those 50cd cases all sealed with copper fittings and a mtdew 2ltr cap that i cut off and epoxied to it.

the total was around 40 bucks!
not really sure the total but thats an estimate, id have to say 40 because i had no fittings and they were kinda spendy...

Welcome to Overclockers.com!

Here is waht I reccomended to someone else when he asked for a $75 water cooling system.

Shure you can do it for $75 it will just take a little more creativity. You can get a Maxi-Jet 1200 295 GPH pump for $18.99, a heater core for $15-30 and a water block for $16-30. Tubing is under $2 for 10 ft at the Home Depot. I'll let you know where I saw the Maxi-Jet 1200 when I find it. A heater core for a radiator can be found at a junk yard or at an online water cooling store. BECooling has a nice aluminum water block for $15.99. You can make a clamping device out of plexiglass so that won't cost you much. If you piece it together you will be able to have a nice setup for not a lot of dough.

I'm going to start making some cross drilled water blocks if anyones interested. For AMD systems I will use a 4 bolt clamping system kinda like dangerden.
