slayer666 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 you bought all that stuff in your sig, but you cant afford to buy a 50buck waterblock? lol if you really wanted to diy, you would need a drillpress. and that would cost more than 50bucks! i don't think it would be worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioport Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 trust me, you will not be able to make a more efficient water block than the commercial ones currently available. that is, unless you are a master machinist or something.

AndrewZorn Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 dont buy an apogee, they are horrible. get a storm or MCW6002. storm is the best though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Keep the air cooling until you can afford to buy your block and parts. You could turn out a block with a drill press and some skill but the bits and taps needed and other materials will run the cost well above what you could buy a good block for.
