Custom Cooling Setup

[FyR]

Im thinking of going water cooled, not because i really need it but i like the look of it, i like the modding prospects of it, uv liquid, fancy resevoirs, custom blocks ect.

Ive been looking through prices and they seem pretty damned steep for a good setup, ive done some machine work (milling, turning and bench fitting) and i know the prices they charge for a cpu cooling block is rediculous so im thinking of designing (or robbing a design ;) ) my own blocks for CPU and graphics card.

One slight problem though, i dont have access to any sort of milling machine anymore since leaving my old place of work. I stumbles apon this place though

and was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with them and what sort of prices they charge. I know this custom job would be very economical if i could machine it all myself, its just a pain i have to use a company for the blocks.

Thanks Guys

I downloaded the software, went through the flywheel tutorial and was well impressed!

Probably be a good program for making up one off heatsinks....

Not the most helpful post, but I was going to make a thread pointing people in that direction, and you saved me a job!

for some reason i believe they are way too high of price. check out Laser cutting service (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2821)

its ran by other modders and is realy much cheaper. custom fan grills out of stainless are like 4.50 i think... all you need to do is supply the .dxf

Yeah, id definatly not use them for there laser cutting service as it can be done much cheaper at the link you provided. Im not aware of any other place that does custom cnc milling work though, like you would need for cooling blocks, idont know if you can do work like i need on a laser cutter?.
