On my next build I've decided to take the plunge and go with watercooling. The reason I chose to watercool is so that Im hoping it will help me get more performance out of OCing while remaining quieter than air. I have a budget of about $300 and I have access to a sheet metal workshop. I am willing to do some modding to my case but nothing ridiculous. My planned build is:
Opteron 165 CCBBE 0615 EPMW
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert
G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500
eVGA 256Mb Geforce 7900GT (Core 580Mhz, Ram 1580Mhz)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA NCQ 3Gb/s 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
OCZ PowerStream 520W or 600W (Cant decide)
CM Stacker
And the parts I chose just by looking at Dangerden is:
Danger Den TDX and D5 Pump Deal
Danger Den Single 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir
2xMCT-5 Non-Conductive Solution
10ft Tygon 3603 Tubing 1/2"
10xPlastic Snap Tubing Clamps
Black Ice GT II Radiator (Thanks thorilan)
Some questions I have regarding WCing is:
1. How do I make it lan party friendly and what procautions should I take when transporting it?
2. What fans would be good?
3. What should I watch out for when installing it? Whats the basic steps for installing it?
4. What order should I have them hooked up and any way to run the tubing to make it easier to maintain and install hardware later?
5. Any tips?
