Ok, I've read up on this forum like woah cuz I hate those people who are like I am new, you have nothing better to do except help me so answer the question that was answered one post below me. (Ok, Im done venting)
On to the questions. I am going to get the following setup:
Dtek Blue Heater Core w/ 2 Dtek shrouds w/ 2 120mm 79 cfm 30 dB fans 1/2 OD ($46 + $15 x 2 + $12 X 2)
ClearFlex tubing, 1/2 ID ($15)
TC-4 Poly topped WB for P4 1/2 ($57)
DD Video Card WB for 9700 pro w/ RAMsinks and alumina epoxy ($76)
Arctic Ceramique ($4?)
Bay Res (didnt get)
Eheim 1250 ($68)
metal screw clamps (like $5?)
blue/blue UV dye and UV light ($14 for light $10 for dye)
I plan on lapping the water blocks and CPU (going to research while parts being shipped)
Zerex ($8?)
Shipping was like $25
Ive heard mixed opinions on Water Wetter/Zerex, etc. I am Thinking of getting Zerex, but I heard it can change the color of the water. With blue/blue UV dye will this make a difference? I am already slightly peeved b/c my motherboard has a red LED that changes my color scheme (silver/blue).
I am thinking of using Velcro to mount my radiator/shroud/fans to the bottom of my case.
My main question is about my actual setup. I want to go pump-->HC-->BayRes-->CPU-->VC-->pump. Is it ok to go to the reservoir before the CPU? On my BayRes I am thinking of getting one elbow and one straight barb so it will come from the bottom and run out to the CPU. Will this restrict flowrate too much or should I get two straight barbs and run the tubing a little longer to accommadate the change in direction?
Also, my computer is going to be lugged around somewhat often and I was wondering how safe this is and what kind of maintenance I would have to do to keep it from leaking when I lug it around.
EDIT: This is my first post in the WC forums =D
