Guys
I am building a liquid cooling setup for my laptop, I have worked out and acquired pipes, rad and cpu block and all of them fits perfectly in my laptop but I am stuck with the pump.. I couldn't find a pump which will fit inside my laptop and then recently I came across Piezoelectric pumps which has a thickness of 8.5mm and I contacted them for the details, here are they: 35kpa pressure and 20ml/min flow rate. I am wondering if the flow rate is sufficient for the loop. Considering the fact that the loop is really small will this flow rate be sufficient to keep my laptop's CPU cool?
CPU: i3 370m
max thickness I can have inside : 10mm
tube diameter: 6mm(inner)
btw please don't say anything like "get a new HS/f setup online for your laptop if the one inside is broken". My laptop's cooler is working fine I just wanted to experiment as I already have 3 laptops and 1 desktop and this laptop was lying around gathering dust.

Thanks in advance :)

Would love to see pics..... if you could please.....
We'll try and figure out something along the way. But it would be really good to be able to see it onscreen..... every step would make a amazing pic story.

I haven't put them all together yet as I don't have the pump, as soon as I get hold of the pump I am planning on making a thread with step by step pics as the approximate cost of building the loop is less than 150$ :D I am from India and it should cost less in US.
Pump is what is holding me back.
