I think im finally going to make the big step into water cooling in about a month. Here is the system I think i will go with:
Maze4
Hydor L20
Dtek heatercore and shroud
But I have a few other questions:
1) Should I go with the T-Line or resevior?
2) Should I pay the extra for the L30 instead the L20, and dont tell me to buy Ehiem because im on a budget and I dont think Ehiem is worth the cost over Hydor.
3) Is there any advantage to one type of fitting over another? ie: chrome vs. polypro vs. brass
4) I was thinking of going with 3/8" ID tube because it would be a tighter fit on the fittings and would be less likely to leak, but would that signifigantly hurt performance compared to 1/2" ID tube?
also I know everyone is going to tell me to buy a chevette heatercore and make my own shroud, but after the cost of the material I think I would rather buy it from Dtek. Also I know everyone will tell me to get a Cascade or Whitewater, but i plan on upgrading to a new platform in about 6 months and those blocks probably wont be compatible with the newer sockets so ill buy a nicer block when i do that.
