Dont think its going to work ... salt water dont prevent Algea and can result in lots of salt deposit in the block.

Lots told that Distilled + PTnuke is the best ! and im telling this too
My last pics was during a 30C day and temps remain very nice !

Possibly, im not gaming these day ... so this beast sit and sleep ... but its in my mind. Just need time to doit + ordering parts.

My last add was to shroud the 2 fans. i used 2 old 120mm fans and removed the fan ( inside, cut the 4 or 3 attach ... Here you go you have a 2 perfect fit shroud !!!

I dunno about pt-nuke being the best. I personally prefer killcoils.

I personally like the wall mounted combo of the res, rad, and pump. Keeps things nice and neat.

THX.

This was my first ever WC and i was just scared of ruining my system with it so i decided to mount it outside. The only thing that can spill water on my rig is the CPU block. Maybe my next one gonna be into a FULL ATX and ill put everything inside the case.

very nice, love the chair! and like the external mount as well, for the same reasons. though mine is right above my computer so i guess that point is moot. man i love using that word!
