That about what I was thinking. The way I read the rules, the only thing that would prohibit water cooling would be if water was considered a safety hazard. That sounds like a judgement call on the part of the inspector.
An off the shelf water pump would be illegal since Update #1 states that only motors from the kit are allowed. However if you made a pump using one of the kit motors, you should be legal.
So, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the water cooling is perfectly legal. Provided you don't use an off-the-shelf pump and the judge doesn't decide that water is dangerous per se.
Can someone prove me wrong?
Legal or not, I will agree that water cooling is probably overkill. But the idea sure is tempting when I think about the poor performance of my handmade heatsinks.
