OK... Hi everyone! I am new to these forums I know a lot about computers but not very much about cooling.

OK I want to build the best custom watercooling kit that $300 can get me but the hard part is that I already have a case in mind, its MicroATX and i need the whole thing to be internal. :eek:

I also really really need the comp to have low noise.

P4 3.2ghz HT
180gb 7200 HD

The Case link is below.

any help would be greatly appreciated
 
wellWelcome to the Forums First off i think a admins needs to move this to the water coolign section(its in the water coolign section stickies)well first off you need to give us more info
1.What do you want to cool cpu,graphics card,chipset?
2.Do you want a cylinder res or bay res ?
3.Do you want to mod the case?(small case)

My question does the cd rom drives go in side ways?
 
What about this?

Nice case! I am taking it that you want to cool most of the things in your pc with this list:

(I know that some of these sites use £s but these are just for examples of the products.)

You’ll need:

A small radiator: http://www.thecoolingshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/33_55/products_id/448

A pump for the water:

Tubing:

A reservoir:

CPU:

VGA:

Plus you might want to protect that nice large disk drive:

That should all come to about $300 (not from that shop though with the present exchange rate.)

Another very important thing:

Get either a silent or near-silent power supply. Don’t spend loads on a water-cooling set-up only to get a loud power supply. Preferably get a silent one like here:

Okay!

Also welcome to the forums too!
