Welp, while on a neverending quest for a quiter PC, I decided to go with H20.
Please let me know what you think of this setup.

CPU WATERBLOCK (not sure which one yet, please recommend one of these)
Zalman ZM-WB2 Waterblock $49.95 CAD
Swiftech MCW5002-A™ for AMD® Duron®, Athlon® MP, and XP $73.95 CAD
Slit Edge Performance Waterblock (1/2 inch ID) $59.95 CAD
HWLabs Blaze and Clip $48.00 CAD

GPU WATERBLOCK
Swiftech MCW50 GPU Liquid Cooler $56.95 CAD

PUMP
Assembled Via Aqua 1300 $52.00 CAD

RADIATOR
HWLabs Black Ice Pro $73.00 CAD

Will probably make my own reservoir.

Also, please reccomend me the quietest 120MM fan you know off. With half decent CFM.


My case (Antec 1000AMG):

As you can see, it has got plenty of space.
 
i wouldnt go with the black ice radiator. go with a heatercore off an old car or something. i would go with the swifttech MCW6002 and probably a dangerden gpu maze4 block
 
of those blocks, slit edge.

my preference: D-Tek's WhiteWater

that pump is cheap and may break, I have one and it's been great os far, but take care of it.

get a heatercore from an auto parts shop for much cheaper

don't make a res, get a t-line
 
Go with a Hydor L30 Pump instead of that via aqua. I have a hydor and I love it. Also you should check out vibecomputers.com they will have proboly the best prices you are gonna find for that stuff.
