Got a Koolance system right now but as I'w been hooked on overclocking I want to upgrade the system with new stuff!
I want to use the exsisting case(the 901 case from koolance.com a fulltower case) but I'll remove the excisting water system from it.... so I need help with a full system block,pump, tank and so on....
Please give me some links to the stuff u recomend so I can see ca prices and complete names...(live in sweden so I have to search for em here)
I want a good system and got some money to put into it but not the absolutely best stuff...;)
Big thanx in adwace...:)

just found a place in denmark that ships all the things u mentioned to sweden....
so I should go with the one u mentioned for better performance or is it just the price?
the place I found it on www.vcore.dk only didnt have the eheim 1250 though... they had the smaller one and one called Hydor L30 wich acording to a test at overclockers http://www.overclockers.com/articles672/ seems to performe well... (and its about half the price to get this from dk than to get a 1250 in sweden)

Looks to be all u need with good stuf if I take the 1250 pump... thinkin of getting the TC-4 block though... as it seems to be really good for the money... any thoughts about this?

personaly i i probly spend way to much money on parts but your performance wont be based off 1 peice of equipment . that said i would still recomend a cascade block because odds are you wont grow out of it for a very long time unless you want a S.S.C. (silver special cascade) the L30 has nearly identical characteristics of the 1250 ehiem but is about half the size and just isnt as well known ( ehiem pumps have been around for a very very long time so you are really just paying extra for the reliable name)
as far as the bix/2 goes they will perform as well as a hearter core but thier price is about 2-3 times the cost. even in sweden you can go to an auto parts store and get a car heater core that will fit your needs for much less. but sometimes it is easyer to just order the more expencive things and know that its all taken care of with less hassle

thanx for your coments...:)
will have to get the pump from sweden though as u got 110v over there and we use 220 so it'll probably be a eheim as I cant really find any others here....
about the blocks I have these to shose from where I can get em:
D-TEK WHITE WATER Polytop
D-TEK WHITE WATER Alu (not in stock right now)
D-TEK TC-4 Rev2 Polytop
wich one do u recomend?
