Okay, So I'm ready to buy my WC setup, just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Please let me know if this setup looks right for my rig.

My Rig:

Abit IC7-Max3, P4 3.0c, Saphire Radeon 9700 Pro, 2GB Mushkin lvl 2 3500, (2) WD Raptors in Raid, (1) WD 120G 8MB SATA. All in a UFO2 Case (18"X18"X18")

Proposed WC setup:

CPUWB- DD RBX, GRUWB- DD Maze4, NBWB- DD Z-Chip (875), Rad- Thermochill HE120.3, Pump- Eheim 1250, 1/2" Tygon Tubing, Water Wetter. This will be in a "T" configuration.

Please give me your comments, style does matter. I would consider a reservoir as I have the room in my case, any benefits?

Thanks!
 
wow. sounds like a great setup. you could cut some costs i think with theradiator, but it doesn't look like you are going for a budget system. stay with the t id say. good luck
 
Looks good to me. The rad would have some hefty pressure drop I'd bet but it should perform nicely anyway. Good luck!

We want pics.:D
 
Nice looking purchase list :)
If you want to see the review between the RBX,WW and Cascade on the main page of procooling.com, you'll probably change your mind and get a WW for the simple reason as (phaestus the reviewer stated) he encountered mounting problems with the RBX
So i would consider going for a safer route with the WW.

Regarding tygon clearflex60 is a little cheaper and basically the same quality as tygon, the only real difference is tygon has a slightly better bending radius.

As a reservoir user myself i'd say go with one. It spares time to bleed the system and in that ufo case you will have ample space for a criticool waterplant which in my opinion is a great res
Details here http://sidewindercomputers.com/waterplant.html

As regarding the radiator again in that case i would mount a caprice heatercore you can get one from autozone

Or else you can get a Pro Core from d-tek http://www.dtekcustoms.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=16
Make sure you order 2 shrouds and 2 120mm fans possibly panaflo or papst for a good push/pull config :)
 
You can get Clearflex60 Chemical grade tubing on the cheap from www.mcmaster.com :). It is listed as 'Chemical Tubing', but is indeed Clearlflex60 (I've bought a lot of it, so I can confirm this)

65 cents a foot for 1/2" ID tubing - buy a 50 foot roll and you're set for life (never worry about running out again) ;)

Page 85 of the Mcmaster online catalogue.

Looks like a nice setup, what kind of fans are you thinking of using on the 120.3? With all the space you have, you've got room for a Caprice or two, instead of the 120.3 .

The RBX's mounting issue is only with the AMD Socket A platform. Since you're using a P4, you should be fine, although the White Water apparantly performs a lot better at the flow rates you'll be getting anyways.

How's that waterplant work for you GoingH2O? Looks like a good res. Doesn't suck any air inside does it?

Its working great voodoo, since it can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. No i didnt notice any air trapped and you can see from the res itself its made of pure thick acrylic which is sealed very well.
