since its a test its ok to use the TT stuff, but if the block has a plexi top be careful if you use it all the time. they tend to crack. but in TT's defence plexi tops tend to crack regardless of brand.

True, I'll have to look to see what i can get today, and Hopefully get this test started. I was thinking for running it for about a month long test, to see how badly the block and intercooler corrodes.

Ok good news! I dropped the intercooler off at my uncle's shop, he's going to try to cut those end tanks off for me. I also ordered a Zalman cpu heat sink, so that is on it's way. Now onto a pump, I'm looking at either a livewell pump, or a pentax quiet one pump. Both are realitvly cheap, and will serve other purposes to me than computer cooling!

Sometime in the next week i'll be starting testing. The CPU block will be in on tuesday, and I should have the intercooler back this weekend. Then just a run to the home depot and walmart to get the rest of my supplies.
I'll keep this updated.

nice, can't wait to see how it turns out.
Alright, so it's in, the rad is being a B**CH!!! the alloy of aluminum they used in the end tanks is rather hard, so my uncle broke a saw blade, he's waiting for replacement, then will finish! The Zalman block I received is better than the one orderd :) So i can't complain! I orderd an all copper unit, and I got a Gold plated copper unit, which was the next model up! Awesome! I'll post up pics when I get around to it!
broke the saw blade??? that seems messed up... what kind of saw was he using?
It may, but since it's just gold plated, I'm sure it will be fine. He was using a metal band saw. I think he over heated the blade, I'm investigating as we speek, but one side is cut :)
Ok so It was Christmas, well at least my birthday haha! I got a call from my uncle....the Radiator has been cut to size :) Also my mother bought me a quiet one 2200 (2200 lph) pump at the local pet store that was going out of business. I bought a few parts to make the whole thing work with plumbing and soon testing will begin! Anyway a few pictures!
