My first water-cooled setup was a Pentium 4 "Extreme Edition" (lol!) cooled with a Danger Den CPU block. The plumbing was made from Tygon clear tubing and all fittings/collars came from the plumbing aisle of my local Home Depot. The radiator was a heater core from a 1993 Mercury Topaz, which would fit 2 x 120mm fans almost perfectly. Another popular radiator back then was the Pontiac Bonneville heater core, but the Tempo/Topaz cores were much easier and cheaper to get. I know I scrapped that radiator long ago, but I think I still have that DD CPU block somewhere. I may also have an old GPU block from DD as well. If you're going through with that "retro water-cooled" video, I can try to hunt them down for you. That is authentic stuff from 2004-2005-ish!!

Old video, just have to add; one of my old builds, circa 1999 had hardcore OC and similarly hardcore cooling to cope with this; back then, fans tended to be much smaller than today, with 80 mm being the most common chassis fan, and CPU fans was commonly even smaller. The one on my CPU cooler was a 40 mm "Delta" fan which was pretty legendary at its time for it's cooling capability. Problem was, it achieved this by spinning at like 12k RPM and it sounded like an industrial vacuum cleaner. To make it even more effective I had this idea that it was a bad idea to use the already hot air inside the chassis, so I took a Dremel to the side panel of the beige case and cut a hole, then made a sort of duct down to the CPU fan, so that it sucked in air from the outside. This setup actually did work really well, but you almost had to wear ear protection to be able to stand it. Over the next couple of years, as the market for DIY computers emerged and computer cases went from a selection between small, medium or large beige box to black becoming an option without having to spray it yourself and more enthusiast features popping up, I saw quite a few repeat the idea with a hole in the side panel, however it commonly had a fan in it and not my amazing ducts. Sadly, this was before digital photography was a mainstream thing and it seems I didn't think the computer was something worthy of wasting a frame of film on, so there are no images.

We ended up using the metal grate that had blocked off the 5.25" bay as a way to mount the hard drive below the existing drive bays, and we spliced an extra plug into the power supply. Somehow, the power supply never had any issue powering everything through the whole life of that computer.

14:15 yes, Jay, that's the typical mechanics car. Not even joking, they're competent enough to know you can leave issues until they have to be fixed, and have no real interest in putting in the work for their daily without getting paid.

I’m reminded of my mid 2000s PCs I used to play EVE-Online with, using Viewsonic 19” CRTs…

The rubber tabs on the first build come with bequiet fans. You can use them instead of screws. supposed to help with vibrations to keep the fan a bit quieter.

I remember using a car heat radiator and an aquarium pump for my first water cooling kit. The main block was made of copper and acrylic. Oh, good ol' times.

14:36 - the cover for the seat - mine is doing the same thing, it just dissolves over time (cheap fake leather, might be related to the fact I've basically spent the bulk of the last two years sitting in it working from home) and peels off the seat and arm rests

Fun fact, some COMNAV and ECM components still use that old glycol crap on the B-52. Leaks like a damn sieve on the ground.
