Well, I've decided to take the pluge and throw my air out for some water I've been doing alot of browsing around, looking and 10's of 100's of WC rigs, sig's with high end parts, stickies and further more. d94 was also a HUGE help with what I've selected as well, and I can't thank him enough for his help through all my annoying questions, thanks bro.
I've decided to go to Water Cooling for three reasons really.
1. I popped the IHS off my 144 because I was bored and wanted to do something to my rig. It was sucessfull and now I got a XP-120 sitting on her. I'd hate to be a skinny guy having a fat chick on top of me
2. What kind of REAL Overclocker would I be if I didn't venture into Water?
3. ...and because I'm actually happy with my rig. The parts I got will last me for about the next year since I'm graduating high school in 2 months and heading to college. Funds gotta go else ware. Figure I'd go out with a bang
OH! And I'd like an overall quieter rig.
Ok ok enough with the long boring corny story. Here is what I got.
CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee Extreme
GPU Block: Danger Den Acetal MAZE4
Radiator: Black Ice Pro II Dual 120mm
Fans: 2x Sanyo Denki 120mm 102.5CFM 39dB
Pump: Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC
Fill Port: Dangerden Black Fillport
Tubing: Masterkleer General Purpose Clear PVC 7/16" Id, 5/8" Od, 3/32" Wall Thickness
Hose Clamps: Buy Locally at Home Depot / Lowes
I think that is just about it. I haven't decided wether I want to use a T-Line or Res...I found a Res at FrozenCPU that is a double 3 1/2 for your floppy bay that I'd like but they are outta stock and I don't gotta clue where to get anything else. My biggest concern at the moment would be the fittings. Judging by the tubing I'm using, I'm going for 1/2. Would that mean I need to get 1/2 fittings for all the parts? I created a basic HTML page here: http://www.distantnetwork.net/wc.html that has links to everything...they give you the option for 1/2 fittings or 3/8th i think at the bottom.
Just had to post...I'm excited as hell, sorta like a little boy on christmas eve
