Ive got a cosair water cooler fitted but wondered if it can be modded?

 

what i would like to do is remove the boring black pipe and insert a clear plastic tube filled with florescent red or green liquid. Furthermore add a water block, either in 5 1/4" bay or an upright tube style.

 

has anybody else tried this / is this possible ?? see the example with the green fluid and upright water block.

 

 

 

* note beause the corsair carbide air was designed to have the drive bays on end, is it possible to fit the water block in the drive bay?

Can't see any issues with replacing the tubing with clear stuff, the automotive type should be sufficient quality.

 

However I wouldn't like to comment on what fluid you could use - I would imagine that corrosion could be a problem if the wrong type was used?

 

I don't really know what the water block thing is, sorry!

basically its where the water comes in, get sucked in via the pump and pushed out ready to go back over the cpu. in essence its like a big washing machine!

I'm using a heat exchanger with gel, can't remember the make. Always a bit worried using water cooling inside a P.C., although it is used on many mainframe computers.
