British Watercooling Empire - DIY WCers

Hi guys, im from the UK and id like to say hi to anyone out there from the UK


Im wondering where anyone got there copper, fittings, tubing etc from, because i cannot seem to find anywhere (except in the US) where i can find copper at a decent price for a reasonable amount. (All of the suppliers ive checked want 40 quid for a very poor amount of copper plate (not bar))

So, if anyone could hook me up with a supplier. i would very much, appreciate it.

Welcome to the forums. I'm sure someone here can help you lots more then I can. We can both wait on them to post.

Plumbing supplies stores. Nowhere specific - just wandered thru the phone book phoning plumbing and metal suppy shops til I found the one with what I wanted at the price I wanted.

You won't find copper at a "decent" price in the UK. Here is where it's most expensive at the moment. Tubing / fittings etc, just get from online watercooling stores...

I did abit of labouring on a demolition site and we where pulling copper pipes out the walls, we can get quite a few quid for trading that in. I was well impressed. As for buying it, i think it would still work out cheaper than having copper blocks shipped from america.

do you have any metal scrap yards near you? I get my copper stock from a place near me - $1/lb. They have a 55 gal metal drum that they let people sift thru.
