Agreed. And it wont be portable and most likely ugly.

Because it's there?
The reasons why NOT to do it are all pretty much related to practicality and cost. Practical? Waste of money for what you get out of it?
What forum is this?
I certainly wouldn't do it, but hey......if you've got an itch: scratch it.

No an M17 but there prolly similar in design

That's why you pump water through the block for about 12hrs straight to check for leaks.

If you notice I'm trying to house all the external components in a case for looks and as far a portability I'm gonna use quick disconnect nozzles on the rear of the computer case and the exos (or my homemade version whichever I go with) so it can easily be disconnected and then put in a case for carrying. Heck the M17 weighs 10lbs, its not exactly the most portable thing to start with so its like why not?

I'll try and get some up tomorrow of the waterblock. I just cut the plate for it.
To Do:
Drill screw holes
Bend copper pipe
Solder pipe to plate

Seriously...... People need to back off otherwise he might go to a forum that doesn't give him 6 pointless posts about how it's a stupid idea. (Which I don't think it is)

It would be cool as hell! Custom Watercooled alienware laptop is 10000x cooler then just an expensive alienware laptop.

Just the pump and the fan on the rads need to be powered and he shouldn't have a lot of fans.
I hope you go through with this dude.
