AiO modding question!

[JeffreyEagan]

I've recently received the Corsair H105, (great cooler, BTW) and I have an old H55 lying about, my idea was to remove the rad on the H55, and replace the tubing on the H105 with something clear, add in a res, and just throw the H55 rad in the loop with the rest of the unit, is it safe to do this and replace the old filling with something like distilled water? If this is all possible I might attach my old H55 pump to my GPU and throw some mini heatsinks on the VRM and RAM.

If you already have an H55, just buy a G10 bracket and some tiny aluminum heatsinks.  It won't cost you more than $40 to water cool your GPU, and you won't be modding or voiding any warranties.

Its essentially an AIO for your CPU and an AIO for your GPU.

Yes, I've seen the G10 about on newegg, my question is will it fit on the 260x?

Probably not.  Thats a very low-end card.  You are much better off spending your money towards upgrading to a higher end card.

Great! Thanks for the info!

You could mod it that way. You shouldn't though. It's unlikely the tubing is easily removable or replaceable. I doubt the fittings are even threaded like the normal ones you can buy are.
