Just curious if it's possible to make your own water cooling system using a fish tank pump, but still uding the retail cpu attachment...

leaking water onto $100 motherboard seems like a Bad Thing

heh... That's how they were done not so long ago... There were a couple of guys that could machine CPU blocks from a chunk of aluminum that would still spank the commercial stuff today.

I watercooled a K6 with a garden fountain pump, a Harley oil cooler, and a PVC endcap. Did it pretty much just to see if it would work, which it did, but it was way more trouble than it was worth. I have better things to do with my time, like counting the hairs on my stomach and cleaning lint out of my belly button.

water cooling systems are just so expensive...idk if it's worth it to even get one.
