Hi everyone. Im still in the planning stage of my watercool project, i only want to do this once so it needs to be done right.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly helpfull.
These are the parts i have planned.
Aquastealth 2 Kit with Maxi Pump Upgrade

Black ICE Radiator

2 Video Water Jackets

Chipset Water Jacket

What i have planned is to run the water though the resevior, then to the black ice rad, then to the cpu, then to the smaller rad, then to the chipset and video card (voodoo 5) and back to the res.
I think i have enough room in my case to put the blackice rad in the front under the 5 1/4 bays, it will be ducted, pulling in cool air from the side and exausting it out the front. The small rad will be mounted at the top of the case with a fan blowing air out the case and through the rad (not the best i know).
I think putting the black ice before the cpu will ensure my cpu is getting the coldest water possible, and then the small rad should be able to cool the water enough to make cooling the chipset and video worth it.
Hard drives are going to be in 5 1/4 bays, i plan to put some heat sinks on them and a fan behind them to blow the air out the front of the case. I also plan on double 92mm intake fan at the side of the case to bring in cool air.
Any suggestions on low noise fans ? I would need 2 92mm for intake, 1 120mm for the blackice, 1 120mm for the toprad and probablly an 80-92mm for the hard drives.
I am also getting an ethermax 450watt low noise P/S.
