UPDATE: My brother loaned me the windshield washerfluid tank from his 94 taurus, which happens to include a nifty 12VDC water pump. I’ve attached the whole tank to the side of the of my ancient case. And ran lines to the homemade water-block.

Result Currently running it at 1267MHz like it was last night, and it’s now running around 55-60C,compaired to last night where it was around 82C at the same clock speed.

Looks like I’ll be bumping the speed back up soon. 🙂

So to tally total supplies needed costs:  
-Watertank/pump = Free!  
-Duct-tape to hold said tank to side of computer  
-Water for said tank  
-1/4" diameter copper tubing ($4.10)  
-Old Heatsink that could be cut-up  
-4 feet of 1/4" flexable clear vinyl tubing ($2)

Pros:  
-Runs nice and cool now  
-No more BSoDs  
-Gaming ahoy!

Cons:  
-Pump is noisy  
-If rednecks owned computers. You would find a picture of this beast in the dictionary. :tup:

Total money left in bank account ($35)  
Price of A/C, more than I could afford pal.

I’ll post pics later it looks so fucking goofy. But for a water cooling I could use my spare change for I’m not compaining:lol:
