Ive just got all the stuff i need to get my h2o sys together, homemade block, 120W pelt, psu, radiator, pump and hoses etc. etc.
This will hopefully keep my duron nice and cool to cross that damn 1GHz line

If things turn out the way i want them, i will start putting the stuff in my case tomorrow (ive run the h2o setup before, all i need to do is get it ready for the pelt.).
But there is one thing that bothers me, the insulation process.
Since i dont have a lot of money i dont feel good about wrapping the mainbord in silicon thus voiding the warranty.
Someone told me that vaseline can be used instead of silicon, which would be great if it worked, with a little will i should be able to clean up the vaseline in case something goes wrong.

This turned out a bit longer then expected, but the question is: Can vaseline be used instead of silicon?
