I was thinking of getting watercooling for my new machine and I was just wondering what people thought would be the best in terms of waterblock, pump, radiator. Also what are the differences between having a closed inline system or one with a water tank. If possible I would like answers substanciated with pros and cons. All opinions are welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

Waterblock - DangerDen.com (Simply the best in my mind, some people suggest the Z4 waterblock because it cools off faster or something)

Pump - Eheim or Danner Supreme Mag Drive (Both great quality pumps, Danner is easier on your wallet though)

Radiator - Any old heater core (Cheaper and more effeicient than any pre-made radiator for water cooling.)

Closed vs tank - The water in the tank tends to kill the noise a bit better than a closed system, but people claim, haven't seen many true numbers on it, that a closed system gives a few degrees difference over a tank/resevoir.

Is any of this available in Canada since it's a pain having to order from the states and pay duty.

Thanks for the quick replies
