OK, I've canned this idea.

On to greener pastures.. I decided to use this copper heatercore from a 1960 Mercury Comet. I got a C-Systems CSP 750 Mark II *BLACK* 12v DC Pump and a Swiftech MCW6002-A AMD K7 waterblock. I'll connect the pump to the outlet of my heatercore, and the reservoir will attach to the pump (both directly with no hoses). Then run 1/2" ID to the cpu block and then to the rad.

My case is organized a little strangely with my optical drives at the bottom(thanks to the case design), fanbus, hard drives in the middle, and LCD at the top. So my pump, rad, and res will be at the top pretty well in-line with my cpu. For safety's sake, I'll have a leak tray under all the connections which drains to a hidden reservoir.

I got a Vantec ION 2 350W power supply to help reduce noise. So I'll have a single 120mm fan on heatercore, the 120mm thermally controlled fan in the power supply, and the radeon9800pro fan.

Scary part will be cutting the two 120mm blow holes in the top of my Lili pc6077B

Tubing is insanly expensive everywhere I checked until I found it at $0.51 per foot here.

I'm still waiting to see if they will sell it to a lowly consumer.
