Laptop Water Cooling

So I have this old Lenovo laptop that has a LOT of extra space inside. I was thinking about water cooling it just for the heck of it. Because why not? Does anyone have any ways to make a waterblock? I have some ideas. one involves cutting grooves in a copper block and epoxying (JBweld) acrylic on to cover it. This is really just for the fun of making a water cooling loop as small as possible. The stock heatsink on the laptop is pretty beefy so I figured I could drill holes through it and solder small copper pipes in. If this belongs in another thread I apologize!

Its a stupid idea but worth a shot I thought. (Why do I always wind up sounding like Dr. Seuss?)
