Ordered my parts! What do you think?

I'm through with noise associated with air coolers and have ordered my parts for a new watercooling kit. What do you think? Here it goes:
DangerDen Maze 3 Block, 1/2 inch barbs
Via Aqua 1300 pump, 1/2 inch barbs
D-Tek Pro-Combo heater core with shroud and 1/2 barbs
Delta mid CFM 120mm fan
Redline Water Wetter, 10 feet of 1/2 ClearFlex and one nylon T.
All for $160 shipped!

From what I've been hearing, the Via Aqua 1300 should be submerged in a resovior. But it seems that many are running it successfully without it being submerged. Not sure what I should do, since it seems to work either way? You recommendations?

All I need to do now is pick up a gallon of distilled water, maybe a few hose clamps and just wait for my parts!! Can't wait!

Thanks for all the suggestions and posts on this forum, I couldn't have made the leap to H20 with out it!

You're going to need a cap for your bleed line.

Keep us posted with your progress.

Good luck!

Looks like you will have a good system.

Keep us updated.

Looks pretty standard... As far as what all of the succesful people are using. Perhaps saving for an Ehiem later might be a good idea.

Has anyone worked with Swifty's new pump? The reviews are good, but I'm not too sure on what I'm speaking(I'm a dork with Air)

Read around on what to look for in a pump.

Generally you want to get a pump with as much head as you can afford and will fit into your setup.

Hope that helps.

I had the ehiem pump, thats mc somthing 300 I think it was...

the only thing I can say about it was, it's sooo small, it's built well and looks nice. I never got to use it cause no one sent me the right adaptor till 3 weeks after Ireturned it cause I was sick of waiting and looking for 1/2 adaptors for it.

my new Eheim is twice as big, but it's very good.

oops, I mean, I had the swiftech pump at first...

then I got the eheim
