 |  Watercooling a laptop on the cheap Most laptops have an integrated cpu cooler block/ heat sink. Remove this and figure out how to get water through it. The compaq has a single copper pipe across the top. I cut a section of it off. Then cut off the end. Then I removed the copper mesh inside. Then I flared the ends of the tube. Then I stuck tubing on them by heating them gently and stretching them over the pipe. I borrowed this method from Bard Lund Johansen. The tubes are also glued/caulked on using a 'household welder' adhesive. Just for good measure a short (1/2 inch) length of 5/16 tube was slid over the top to keep it all snug. http://www.instructables.com/id/EDZO...4CFS/?ALLSTEPS
