Close-up of the CPU-coolers with its clamped tubing. It has a copper base, not mirror lapped but extremely smooth. We'll be using the waterblock on your right today. BTW the tubing is 3/8 ID tubing.

Here we see a photo of the brackets, springs, clamps etc etc. Also include is thermal compound (always lube it up). And some sticky foam to secure the water pump. Simple and effective as it will prevent resonation and vibrations of the pump. Gosh this is almost sex talk!

Here we see that pump, the LAING Delphi 12V DC. A "Low Flow" model, it is definitely a high-pressure part with an approximate 13-foot maximum head. The pump runs close to silent. Its small size makes it easy to mount. According to some tests I found on the web it exceeds the manufacturers claims of ~92 GPH, which is good enough for our project.

A clever solution water reservoir as it fits into a 5.25" bay of your PC casing. It is made of plastic and has four mounting screws. That's a very nice way to cloak that thing in the PC.
