If you look in the forums people have done it, its not too hard, its just a bit difficult to make the machine usable afterwards, so it can take some custom parts to make that happen, but if you're just doing it for the sake of it with no intention of using the machine afterwards as a portable laptop, then you should be fine 

Yeah, my first built will be a test to see if I can do it.  Then if still interested I will refine it to being portable.  My plan is keeping the air cooling system intact so the water loop supplements the air cooling but is not required.

Probably can. 
 

Wether it will be easy, time-consuming, expensive, or just overall worth it is a whole different story.

I am in the process of doing it now to an old MSI GE60 as an experiment.  Total bill just for supplies to loop was about $100, another $60 to clean it up and make it presentable.  It's going to be time-consuming but I will have a page with details and photos of the build in the Liquid and Exotic Cooling forum.  My supplies get delivered Thursday night.
