Yes; a junkyard heater core. A heater core is a tiny radiator, no more - no less. But a heck of a lot cheaper & thousands of water cooling users around the globe are running them as we speak. If you're twitchy or lack the ability to pressure test it with a water hose then go to an auto parts store & buy a NEW one....still cheaper than a purpose built one for a P/C.
The reason you use distilled water is because it doesn't conduct electricity like regular water will & it's not nearly as corrosive - the water wetter I suggested is to negate galvanic corrosion.
Five degrees of cooling is just an arbitrary number btw; I get much more than that.
As far as water cooling for looks? I think you have water cooling mixed up with all those fans, mine is totally 100% contained in the case! No fancy windows or spinning led's.
Edit: BTW my P/C's been water cooled as I mentioned for two years now without a hiccup, without a leak, without a change of coolant. Not sure why everyone is scared of what they don't understand but I'm living proof it's easy, it's reliable, it's the best performing cooling solution there is & it can be done affordably with a little leg work.

I know what a heater core is,but i mean i wouldnt put some cheap,trow-away part in my pc,i'd rather spend some more and get the good stuff,hey but thats me...in the end most watercooled systems have a radiator thats cooled with........fans..:rotfl:
And yes there are people that buy it for looks,just as with cooling fans,just a matter of taste and what you like i guess..
Then i was going to write something about the cow and the scared of what they dont uderstand stuff,but i use to own a watercooled pc,so i leave it at that...keeping Webster's quote in mind
