Oh man this thread brings me back. I spent summer after freshman year of high school trying to watercool my first PC, a 1.2Ghz AMD TBird. I'll never forget: - Attempting to make a waterblock with junkyard copper, old wire, a dremel, JBWeld, and a soldering iron. Luckily the thing fell apart while lapping the base, would have been a timebomb. - Attempting to make a giant evaporative cooler and trying to assure my parents that the humidity wouldn't rot my room from the inside-out - The guy at Napa Auto Parts who was so incredibly down to help a strange child identify dimensionally-appropriate heater cores - Learning that silicone tubing is water vapor permeable, trying to figure out why my water level kept dropping and why the pump would pull air after 3 months - Slicing the gently caress out of my hands with a box cutter while building a reservoir out of junk to fix the above problem, starting my DIY scar collection - Like so many future projects, doing a mediocre job and quitting at 90% You kids today don't know how lucky you gots it, with your AIO's and your off-the-shelf phase change.

Is anybody sending the heat from their setup to any places besides a radiator, or en route to a radiator, using the heat for something else? I was thinking how if you set it to run around 70C, you could use the CPU heat as pre-heat in a liquid print bed heater setup on a 3D printer. Printers can draw around 250W under load, the biggest chunk of which is the bed heater. Or running it under my cat's bed, or to a window radiator to not heat the room so much in summer.

drat though, what's wrong with cutting some home depot ABS or PVC pipe to size, and purple primering and gluing some fittings on? It'd be like $30. Cut + well-sealed boro glass would be a badass sight.
