Water Cooling Guide

post #1 of 87
Thread Starter 
I have finally finished the water cooling guide. There is still some fine tuning to be done, but it's up!

Water Cooling Guide

Please post any feedback/suggestions here. Let us know what we need to do to make it better! Also, I could use a pic or two of heater core shrouds, so if you have one, let me know via pm or email, and I will pick the one that works best and use it in the guide.

WOW, you really outdid yourself Death...

I'd have saved myself alot of stains and headaches (and a really nasty taste in my mouth) if I had waited for your guide!



AWESOME job...then again, I kinda expected that guide to rock.

Wow this semes to much work for my lazy ass I'm gonna go pay some store to do it for me for like $150 I know not ever one has the money (and that includes me) but there's always some way to get it! I'm wasting enough on building the PC I wanna put the water cooling system in but that was a nice detailed guide!

Death,
Could I use any other Heater Dores to be used for this project, if so what aspects would demand the most attention?
