First and foremost...this IS happening so naysayers just go away 
. Now that I've got my new computer on the way I'm going to start my custom project for my laptop. G73-JH. I plan to build a custom enclosure for it but I have a few questions and would love any input before hand.
Here's the cart so far (fitting sizes may change ) : http://i.imgur.com/KabOP5m.png
questions : (looking for input)
1. Fully sealed enclosure? I plan to make it a fully sealed loop. No air in or out, possibly will need a bleed valve or box but those are abundant.
2. Heatsinks / fans (pic of mobo w/ heatsinks and fans http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/bWF2c85CmpU/maxresdefault.jpg) I'm contemplating keeping the heatsinks on and taking the fans completely off, and most likely the copper tubing as well. What do you guys think?
3. pump issues? The pump I have in my cart is a nice but small-ish pump at 11 psi and 158gph. My worry is in my case it will roughly be 24x12x6-12 will I cause a flow through ? where there is pressure being pushed into the intake and causing the pump to freespin ? I know this can be an issue with air, idk about oil though.
I think that's all for now. Thanks in advance for any advice. It'll probably be a month or so before I start actually building this, but there will be plenty of pictures.
