    Hi guys , A guy on ebay was selling g73 stuff I just asked the vga and asked why he is parting it out then I got the anwser , he said He wanted to water cool his g73 and at last point after his build was going to finish , he filled the coolent in the reservoir but there was a leak somewhere , so he stoped hi project.

    While I appreciate anyone dusting off the tools and taking on a challenge, h20 cooling a laptop is just insane. It is good for "look what I accomplished" only and odds are the project will wind up exactly as his...


    ...spare parts :)

    Nice find man, thanks for the entertainment ;)

    haha , water cooling is somewhat diffrent , if nice job is done then perfect results, but this is very hard , h50 is parted out and only the pump is on the positon of the fan,the other space is occupied by radiator.

    they cant be used for spare parts, hehe if i were you il throw it.
    :D :D

    My question is that will it be portable ? :D The idea would be nice if you had a quick connection on the pipes for home use and then a internal cycle for portable use. It would heat more but who games on battery anyway ? :D


    Lets hope he makes it work :)

    omg portable ? :D he uses the out side tube out from cd drive bay as reservior so removing that fan and that heat pipes and insert the reservoir is his idea, yes this is portable because the coolant will be inside the tubings that is going to have another over coating so cant exept leaks at all, reservoir will be wrapped with water proof mater not allowing coolant to go out, but only thing is if you fix every thing together you cannot disassemble it , but you can if your willing to accept the costs,
