*The heat exchangers were six meters of 5/8th inch thin-wall

other). The whole thing would fit into a liter jug easilly. I had
six of them and they are irreplaceable. I got them from a guy who
worked for a company designing heat [...]

OUCH!

Oooo the mistakes of the unknowing...!

Sad ay? If I wanted to buy something like those again or have them made up
it would cost me as much as a top-of-the-line CPU each.

Don't let that little hiccup invalid you out. You can do some pretty
good stuff on the kitchen table with a few spare parts and a soldering
iron and kit...

Yeah, these things were so elegant though. As you can tell, I'm still a
little irked that I no longer have them, even though it was five years ago
they were disposed of.

I'd like to experiment with a low pressure boiling water/freon 'heat
sink' cooler for a cpu, given a little time...

Sounds interesting.
