i know him personally....and this was a very basic scratch build.Counting the stuffs available in India it was a pretty good attempt.

in india most of these "projects" trickle down to a waste of time, energy and hard earned money, due to the lack of support. even if you start, people will try to hold you back. if you go to a shop for fabrication, they'll ask a thousand irritating questions, then then tell you they cant do it...

if you are doing this with your dad's money [which i guess you are ;)] i'd suggest you not to go for it.

well for this my dad will definitely provide me with full support ... no worries about fabrication no such things will be included just some welding work is there which will be done by a welder in my street but mostly will do it myself .....

people now about the questions asap ...

Why fabricate your own parts? Why not build a proper setup like I did?

Tell me your budget. I'll help you out.

I built my own setup using parts from EK waterblocks.

Judging by what you've already posted so far, I would suggest you read up about PC watercooling and how to go about it before asking for suggestions.

I ask for budget because it can be as low as 10k and as high as 60k, depending exactly on what you want to do.

I purchased my parts from the EK waterblocks webstore, but there are many places you can buy from, such as jab-tech, performance pcs, frozenCPU etc.

I'd say just get a pre-built kit from corsair...

my watercooling setup cost me 20k and required a decent-sized case to fit properly. you will not be able to fit the setup in a tiny case.

this is WIP picture after I did maintenance work on my setup many months ago.

Yes.

Like I said, it is a WIP (work in progress) picture. The setup doesn't look that messy right now.

that depends on what you buy, the shipping option you choose and how long customs takes.
