Currently I'm running a system with an Epox 8RDA+ and a Barton 2500+ with a 5400RPM TMD fan. It keeps the cpu at around 40-43 C during multiplier overclocking to 2100mhz, but the board has been finicky and I haven't been able to do any FSB o/c-ing for some PCI bus reason. Anyways, I'm looking to quiet down my system and get superior cooling thru WC. I wanna know what the most cost-effective retrofit of my existing case would be. I've been steered towards the Exos from Koolance, but I really don't wanna spend 200 bucks on just the unit and still hafta buy all my tubes and connectors in addition. I'd like to keep the total price under $150. Is that possible?
 
Everyone is going to tell you to build your own.It will cost you about $150 to get a 87 chevette heatercore, tubing,pump,WB,ect.. What kind of case do u have?
Ive got 87 Chevy Chevette heatercore-24 dollars
Maze4 SHD-60 dollars
Maxi-Jet 1200 pump-20 dolllars off the net
and cheap tubing from home depot-3dolllars for 10ft.

I know, but I'm too lazy to wade thru all the data. ;)

I have a stardard Enermax ATX case. I think you call it a full-sized. It's not as a tall as a workstation tower, but it's not a mini-ATX either.
