Make your own!

Appears to be using ether. Nice mount!

Nice DIY work. However we know now what not to do.

I like the build up info of article but that Celeron is about 4-5 years old and those cpus didn't produce much heat. I wonder how it would perform with more modern technology that produces more heat?

*Several important question

Performance of the setup?

How does the thickness of the tubing affect performance?
Is bigger or thinner tubing more important? I think NOS offers several sizes.

Optimal amount of liquid.
Optimal amount of pressure.
The effects of different condensor type and size.
Good design for the waterblock. Increasing surface area inside the block and with the liquid is very important.

The cellery he used puts out 23watts (max) and his system runs 34-47C. hardly acceptable for any modern Intel or AMD CPU. This is why I say we know what not to do.
