Small water cooling kit wanted

Hi, Im modding an old .50 ammo box and turning it into a pc but size is a problem so I am wanting to get a small water cooling kit to place within the box. My budget is around $80.

Thanks

Rubix beat me to it. Just reading the subject I was already getting ready to say that. Some company did make an all-in-one radiator, pump and block... the whole thing was like $70 or $80, but the consensus on that product was that high-end air cooling was superior at a lower price-point.

Unless you have a very specific reason for going the water route, I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Yeah I know Iv run water cooling aswel for awhile. I'v found a budget CM water cooling kit (Aquagate duo viva) for $30 but it does not come with cpu support. What will I need to make it run on a AM2 mobo. Its apparently on par with a CNPS9700 so might as well give it a shot.

Siberian Tiger kit might work OK...

Swiftech Compact kit:

I would be more apt to go that route instead...at least you could add other blocks in the future...but not with a single 1x120mm rad...

Still, not really getting far for under $80. It also makes a big difference how many/what componets you want to watercool...more = more $.

That really isn't your problem; any waterblock will work as long as you have the correct sized fittings for the rest of the tubing. Your problem lies with the need to re-fill, purge and seal the system back up.

Also, 40L/h isn't too whoopy of a pump...if it is pushing that little of fluid through the stock blocks, who is to say it will do even that good by adding another block and X-amount of additional tubing?

I know you are going for cheap + good but those don't always go hand in hand...

For that, how about a Zalman CNPS8000. Might have some mounting issues because it's flat and spreads out. Looks like they're around $40 or so. Performs all right.

Thanks I will have to look into those coolers.
