Well ive been gathering bits and bobs for the past few months to fit together for watercooling. Ive finally gathered all the bits i need, and taken a picture.
[URL]http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/v31/morgoth/everything.jpg[/URL]
Ive got one black pipe, 2 bits of square perspex, a heater matrix from a vauxhall nova, 2 meteres of 1/2" tubing, a fluval 4 plus water filter/pump, a Dtek white water water block and one 10ml bottle of UV reactive green dye.
I also got 6 litres of de-ionised water and 6 jubilee clips.

So i got to work on building the reservoir, which consisted of the black pipe, the 2 bits of perspex and some silicone bathroom sealant. I was originally going to build a rectangular one with custom cut perspex, but then i was quoted £30 for the materials. So when i was looking around B&Q i found that pipe which is meant to be used to build a duct between the outside and inside of your house. After sealing it up and leaving to cure i then had a reservoir which i estimate will take pretty much all of my de-ionised water to fill to the appropriate level.

I cleaned the rust and stuff off of the radiator and it cleaned up rather nicely.

I leak tested the reservoir and ran the pump to clean out the radiator which in this case i have put in front of the waterblock in my circuit, this was due largely to lazyness.
Now all i need to do is pull out my motherboard, fit the block, and flick the switch. Which i may do tomorrow depending on time constraints. But i will update with more pics when i finally have it running. :)
Oh, i suppose i will tell you how much its cost me so far.
Pump £28.40 from ebay
Tubing £3 from B&Q
Black Pipe £11.98 from B&Q
Waterblock £43.99 from coolercases
UV dye £3.49 from coolercases
Perspex was cut from a bit sitting in my garden
Deionised water was £1 a bottle from B&Q
Jubilee clips were £98p a pair again from B&Q
So in total thats £99.86, cheaper than one of those shoddy pre-made kits :)

Which is why you use deionised (distilled or pure) water, which does not conduct electricity. Thus, if it leaks it isn't a problem.

I'll try it on a old machine one day :D
