Hey,
I've been reading into watercooling options lately and have been thinking about buying my own setup but, I am still a bit of a noob when it comes down to it so I have a few questions:

1) It seems there is a clearly superior radiator, the Black Ice Pro II Dual 120mm is this a safe assumption? Also what if a wanted to go with the micro dual 80mm version, would there a be a significant performance drop? What about compared to the single 120mm?

2) I can't seem to find the absolute best p4 478 cpu cooler so, what are your guys top 3 recomendations (in best to next performance order)? I'm thinking between:
PolarFlo 1/2" Black TT Series CPU Water Block
Hydrocool Hydro-Stream Waterblock
Danger Den RBX/TDX 1/2"

Any others I should consider?

3) For now I only plan on cooling my cpu and I have been seeing these waterchilling pumps like the WaterChill Hydor L30 320GPH Pump. Are these any good or shpuld I just stick with something like the Eheim 1046 Centrifugal 12V Water Pump? I will prolly end up going with Swiftech mcp600.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dolph
