OK, has anyone or is anyone currently working on a water block for a Mac. From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) the main problem with current water cooling blocks is that they are specifically made for a certain type of processor (ie Socket A).
But if we could find a way to get it to mount and make/find/modify a shim for a PPC processor - would it work?
Anyone with any questions/comments/info please reply.
When the new Cyclone 5 water blocks come out in the next few weeks, I'm going to buy one and see what I can come up with.

When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

the major issue I see is the block fitting inside the case and atachment to the proc

The size thing is probably going to be your biggest problem. I've seen a few liquid cooled systems, and they all had external parts and stuff. Most likely you'll have to run a seperate power supply to the pump/peltier. Also, the fold down door is great for accessing everyhing and putting thing in - but would be a pain when wanting to run hoses and stuff to get the max air flow inside he case. Seems to me most liquid cooling projects are done on larger cases... I would love to see it done though -- question is, what good would it get you? I know you can OC stuff, but the limiting things on the G4 is the pipe (correct?) and that can't really be overclocked (correct?) and even if you did... it wouldn't be cooled (correct?).
Sounds like a lot of work for not much gain - it would still be really cool (literaly)!
