You've made a great work in your system, I really liked the ingenuity you used in adapting current aircooled pars to water use.

But I want to warn you of a potential disaster that could happen to you: Araldite is not completely waterproof It degrades in long term contact with water, becoming brownish in color and loosing hardness. This problem is tipical of most quick set epoxies.

I'm speaking from experience: I made a waterblock from an old heatsink, by encasing it with parts bonded with epoxy. After about six months of use it developed a leak!
