koss20100 PMed and asked me to make a poll on "how much did your watercooling cost" So here is the poll also if you would please list the stuff in your system. Also this is just for the stuff in your system now or going to be in your system, not the stuff you baught like three years ago and in now collecting dust.
 
Hydor L30
2x120mm's
'77 BVille HC
bought 7' of ClearFlex, only using like 5

I could have saved my self $30 at the time by, not getting that stupid BIP and a Bay Res. Thats why min is in the 151 range, cause i did not buy the correct components.
 
D-tek WW
10 Ft Clearflex60
72 caprice classic HC
86 chevette HC
6 120mm fans
pondmaster 700 pump
grand total $320 not counting res, hose clamps, bandaids and such
 
I have not yet ordered all this stuff, but this is what its gonna be in a week or two, once i get around to ordering the last few parts:

Laing D4
Storm G4
Silverprop Fusion HL
MCW20-P
'77 Bonneville HC
2x Sanyo Denki 120mm fans
10ft Tygon 3603

yeah...its gonna be rediculous :)
 
Hm. I put mine in the 100-150 range. I have a heck of a lot more than that in stuff that's come and gone but the stuff i have now totals out about $150

chevette core
shrouds
eheim 1250
DD RBX

oh, crap, i forgot i just bought and installed a maze4 gpu on my 6800 lol. guess i'm actually in the 150 - 200 range.

maze4gpu
clearflex
2X 120MM fans
 
Im in the over and above range :D although, I did manage to sell 'The Beast 1' for $475. Just my case and rad put me over the highest bracket, lol.
 
DD TDX w/all nozzles & extra O-ring $56
Eheim 1250 $59
2-342 HC $26
8' Tygon $30
DD Bay rez $30
misc supplies(fiberglass stuff) $30
Plus all the shipping charges and it's still not done yet :bang head
 
Recently sold most of my watercooling to do a new killa setup in my new Silverstone case. This is what i have planned. All i need is the extra time.

Swiftech MCP650 $75
Storm G4 $80-$100
Swiftech MCW50 $40
Aqua Computer Evo 240 w/ grill $96
DD Reservoir $18
4x Papst 4412 $80
7ft 3/8" or 1/2" Tygon 3603 $15

This should be over $400. This doesn't even include shipping.

heat exchanger - modded '77 b'ville w/ac core (of course :) ), shroud I made in the garage, dual 120mm sanace fans - approx. $45 -$50 with a few extra tweaks.

hehe

$205 for a top of the line setup, minus the best pump, because the perhaps 3-5 degrees is not with the 60 dollar price hike IMO. (I put pump money into fans, for better or worse.)
 
Wow i did not expect this many ppl to spend over 400 on thier WC system thtz ALOT hmm... im interested on where the stats end up !
 
Most likely those are people with pelts and a 2nd PSU running it, or possibly a CPU and GPU dual pelt system, with a waterblock on the NB.
 
MCW5002 $52 new
MCW50 $30 used
chevette heatercore $24 new
shroud, rubbermaid $1 new
fan, 120mmx38mm $7 used
Hydor L30 pump $20 used (just sold Eheim 1250, it was $50 used)
tubing, fittings $20

Most of these components (except the L30 pump) were selected and purchased/modded almost a year ago. My choices would be different if starting today, but the rules said what you are running now.
