Hey guys, im new to watercooling and have spent some time trying to learn about whats good and not. I put together what I think would be a pretty good setup for my new athlon64 3200+ and the chipset on the asus K8V SE Deluxe mobo. Eventually I will want to add watercooling for the nvidia 6800 I plan to buy for this system. I think it would be best to try and get the rest of it done before I spend that much more on the DD video card block, or should I do it all at once? Anyway I was thinking this case HERE . Then for the actual watercooling system I would go with somthing like this:
all 1/2" btw
Danger Den - RBX Block Athlon64 $50
Danger Den MAZE4 Chipset Block $40
Danger Den DD12V-D4 pump $75
Black Ice Xtreme Radiator $60
DD single bay resevior $30
Tygon tubes + clamps $30
for a total of almost $300
So, does this look like a good setup, anything stupid or did I miss anything? Also this setup is a bit more than I wanted to pay, know any good ways to knock the price down? I was thinking of getting a car rad since it looks like they only run about $20 for a good one. Any advice from the pros would be appreciated.
