    OK guys, I just made my own water cooling mod. Everything is custom made ^^ So please let me know what you think. I took pictures throughout the whole building process so my next post will be mass pix and comments on what I was doing.

    OK!

    i see some are really excited to see my work :) so ill get on with it and show sum pics :)

    so heres is my rad fresh outta a mustang (thanks to a custom garage shop close to me )

    [​IMG]

    :wallbash: but it has a smaller and bigger inlet and outlet connecters so it was back to the drawing board -.-

    so then here is the "modded rad with black fiish :) and half inch hose connected on it

    [​IMG]

    ok kwl so now i got my rad sorted....
    all i had to do was build a waterblock
    right i needed a little help in those fields as im good on my pc and not on mchines lol so i set out for a weekend at my grand father who is by a chance a really good engineer :) and well here are pics of the raw material and then the finished products i couldnt take pics cos he thought i was a paparrazzi :\ yea germans are so stubborn i know lol

    OK so now that i got a world class waterblock ( thing is heck of a tank xD sherman tank for all u germys out there)


    so now all i had to do is put it together along with the very hard to find pump.....

    a tip to all south africans just order an ehiem pump cos it took me 2 weeks to ge a standard pump and i only saved about 100 bucks which is the equvilent of just over 12 US dollars

    any way so next time ill have more with the testing phase of my water cooling system
