Hi all. With a lot of help from these forums, I have completed my watercooling project. This has been a long-time in the making as I had to put everything on hold for a couple of years while I was busy with other things.
Now that I'm done, I am already looking towards building another using everything I have learned. I also started this project with more of a "extreme-cooling" mindset, and now I want to build a WC system that is smaller and geared more towards "ultra-quiet".
My case temp is 29C and my XP2500 @ 2.2Ghz is sitting at 38C IDLE, and 42C LOAD.
The rad box was custom built from plexi, with two 120mm fans running off of a fan speed control located at the top corner of the rad box.
I used a Mag 3 pump, and 3/8" tubing. I have not finished mounting the pump, so it's sitting slightly skewed in the case for now. I bought my tubing like 3 years ago, so its fairly discolored, and I want to replace it before I add my water dye to polish off the system - this is why the pump isn't fully mounted yet.
So thank you again everyone for all the help, and I hope these pics can help to inspire others attempting their first system.
