thinking about the Koolance watercooler and the only thing holding me back is a water block that will fit my rig. If I could find something that is close, then it could possibly be modified to fit. Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully fit one.

I know about this one, but he custom cut a piece of copper to work with a block that wasn't even close - it worked, but even he suggested finding a direct-fit block.

There is also this setup which uses a custom block, but I can't find it anywhere or any details about what they started with or how it was modified!

Why do you want to buy a Koolance for Dual 867 7455s? They barely get hot enough to warrant a good fan, let alone water cooling.

Mine is running at about 60C and is still loud as crap. With the koolance system I can cool the CPU, the GPU and the HDs, and reduce noice dramatically. I wanna be at 40C! Also, it will be very modular and easy to transfer to another system in the future.

plus it gives me something to do with my time, hehe.

Haha, why don't you take up soddering in your spare time so you can overclock those dual 867mhz to actually have something to cool.
