you think a cpu water cooling system would be to small to make a difference?

this one is pretty

It has a copper heat exchanger.

which definitely is not a good mix with saltwater. v.v

I looked at these concepts about 2 years ago ... lots of internet research. There are also lots built on evaportive cooling methods. By the time you make one big enough (capacity) for a SW Tank and buy a titanium heat exchanger ... a commercial SW chiller is a better, more cost effective approach ... IMO.

I don't think that this would work very well unless it was a very small nano. In order to remove the heat from any significant amount of water, you would need a pretty large radiator with several cooling fans, and as Steve pointed out, you need to go titanium for a heat exchanger.
What I find interesting is some of these liquid cooling computer guys (not including myself) are using Iwaki, Panworld and BlueLine pumps that would be reasonable sized circulation pumps for smaller tanks.

I just don't see putting water in my $2k computer...

That's what I said for awhile.
Of course most people don't spend too much time tweaking every piece of hardware and software on their computer.
I went liquid cooled to prolong the agony I put my hardware through.
You get much better results upping cpu, video card, and ram voltages with liquid. I do this because I don't want to upgrade every 3 months anymore.
When the components finally melt, then it's time for an upgrade. ;)
