[devilfire]

Ok...picking out parts for a water cooling system...its late..i'm probably missing something and not realizing it. How well do you think this setup will work?

Maze 2 Socket A Water Block (3/8" fittings) - $42.00
Tubing (5 Feet) - 12.50
Low Pressure Drop Cooler Radiator (3/8" fittings) - $37.50
Arctic Silver II Thermal Compound - $8.00
WaterWetter - $5.00
Pump - ??

For the pump i wanted to get one of those aluminum enclosed ones....what do you guys think i should do for the pump/resivoir?

The Eheim pumps are very popular. For the reservoir I just walked through Walmart, Lowes and a couple other stores until I found something I liked. I ended up with a 1.2 gallon slimline waterbottle from Walmart. Be creative, decide what size you want and look around. One guy posted a Pic of a beer keg as a reservoir.

I didnt see a fan for the radiator in the list, make sure the one you get will fit in your space allocated for the radiator. Also, you might want to get some little hose clamps to make sure you dont get any leaks.

Yea, i've got a couple 80's i can use....where can i find that Eheim pump?

Mine came from petwarehouse.com. There are lots of pet, fountain and hobby stores that sell them.

Would it make any difference to anti-freeze/coolant in your system, intead of water? Would that make a big difference over water? I figure you'd have to watch what metal everything is made out of, since not all metals react the same to water versus anti-freeze, and the last thing you want is your water block corroding and spilling fluid all over the inside of your box.
