I'm looking to water cool my proc, northbridge, and gpu.
Ive got:
2.4C
Asus P4PE800dlx
Ati 9700pro

Should I look at systems like Koolance, Corsair...? If so Can anyone recomend one. This kind of new to me, but I really want to get into it soon.

here's what i would look for :D.

check out www.dangerden.com for pumps/tubing/gpu block.

ehiem 1250
maze 4 gpu
plenty of 1/2 inch clearflex

look @ www.dtekcustoms.com for the white water cpu block.
i'm not using a n/b block, but any one with 1/2 inch fittings that isn't very flow restrictive will suit this setup. Pick up an 87 chevette heatercore at your local auto parts store, u can make a couple shrouds or u can purchase them from DD or any other watercool supplier. Grab a couple 120mm fans and you're ready to go. One thing about cooling the cpu/northbridge/gpu all in one loop, you will need a strong pump. This is why i recommended the eheim 1250. It's plenty stout, and very reliable. Check the prices on these items, then you can decide if you'd rater go with a kit. If i was going to get a kit, i would go to dangerden u can make a custom kit there :D.

Dtek now has a kit with parts that a lot of people buy seperately. You might want to look into that if you don't feel like looking around and placing a bunch of different orders.

Yeah, I agree. Dtek is a great place to get stuff.
The Danner Mag3 is a little cheaper than the Eheim 1250...I think it has a little more head too. They're both viable options. The Eheim has a longer reputation.
