Hi,
my benching rig is almost complete - all I need is a CPU pot. Now I don't feel like buying a pot from Koolance because 203,50 Euros (which amounts to 250-300 dollars) is just too much, but that is the pricing in Germany. I can't find any reasonably priced pots here - are there cheap European manufacturers that can be trusted?
I was thinking why not build it myself. Can't I just take a kitchen pot with a small diameter that fits on the socket and modify it? I could of course also make it out of a new piece of metal, but is there a point to that? Are there instructions for building one of these online? I actually really like challenges so I would almost prefer building it myself, if that is realistic.
Thanks,
Mark
