i just finished building my budget watercooling system, in total it cost me $30cdn. and with my duron 700@1050 and 1.9vcore im getting temps at no more than 36c at max load.
i made the waterblock from an old heatsink and a 4' PVC cap, and for $2 it does a damn good job
oh, and i also have found a nifty way to drop another 5-7c by putting a socket7 or 486 fan on-top of the waterblock. basically its positioned so air blows directly in the tiny gap between the processor and the waterblock. cuz the core sticks out a little bit there is still room for heat to build up around it, so i just blow it outta there. there is a pic here: http://www.geocities.com/biztyke1/block.html to better explain, plus pics of how i built my waterblock.
right now that little fan is just sitting over the block, but im gonna make some ducting for it. before i put that fan there i was getting temps of 41c at max, now like i said it never goes above 36c
