Yes, you can, but not all types of aquarium pump can be used for that reason...
You should research first on what type of pump that can be used for that reason...

And when you're done with you're custom watercooling setup, let me know, i'm also interested on it...

**What type of radiator are you going to use?

i dont think so..if the modder seal it up,the air from the fan is not strong enough to reach the radiator..instead,he must us stand fan to do that.. huhu..

Yes, ryudox's right...
The fan are too damn far from the radiator... sweat.gif

That fan doesn't seem like it's strong enough to reach the radiator... doh.gif

erm... must have been a while since i have been thru this thread...

anyways,

Now / currently i am running on Nirox P2800 , El cheapo pump. Not Bad. biggrin.gif ( noise erm... i dunt think there is ) , Heat ( a bit warm ) a small 80mm / 60mm fan would do the job.

In My Case, The Pump is inside my casing so i have the case fan to cool down the pump's heat. biggrin.gif been using it for a while biggrin.gif
Before this i used a a really cheap aquarium pump, submerged it in a cookie jar and made some connector on top. biggrin.gif the only problem to that was the heat dumped into the water. If u can get a bigger jar + better radiator, i guess the heat dumped by the pump would not be a problem.

Hope That Helps.

As For Radiator.

Try scavenging for a DAIHATSU MIRA / CHARADE Heatercore.

This 2 stuffs would do the trick. biggrin.gif

if diy also cost 300-400 why not buying a  Thermaltake Big Water SE ..isn't it cheaper and nicer ?

Because Thermaltake Bigwater Sucks!!!

It sucks to the max...

Only the bling bling features are good, other than that, it sucks!!!

I've used Bigwater SE before, and after i've changed to CM Hyper 6+ [Air Cooling Heatsink] the Hyper 6+ performs much much better than Bigwater SE...

Damn, what do Thermaltake engineers were thinking?
Do they only think of money?

Damn!!! sweat.gif
