Hey guys. Alright, I have a pretty long question. I am currently in the process of choosing my parts for my water-cooling equipment. I want to use T-Line instead of a reservoir. I'm going to use a heater core from a car instead of a radiator. Ok, so on to the questions.
Questions
------------------------------------------------------
1. I am replacing the input/output barbs on the heater core with 1/2" copper hose barbs. What should I use to connect them? I've heard everything from solder to a kind of sealant tape?
2. I've heard that silicon hosing is good for using throughout your system. I want to use PVC for the fill line (since its transparent) and silicon for the rest. Is this the best way?
3. What should the t-piece be made out of? Do they make copper ones?
4. I have heard that using 75% distilled water and 25% anti-freeze is sufficient for the fill liquid. Is this correct?
Recommendations
------------------------------------------------------
1. Pump (Want to use 1/2" hoses/In-Line Pump) - Hydor L30 320 GPH Water Pump, Alphacool Laing D4-Pump or Eheim 1048
2. Water Block (Using 1/2" hoses/Athlon 64 (939) - Swiftech MCW5000, Danger Den Maze 4 or Danger Den TDX
I know this is involved but I just want to make sure before I throw a few hundred down. Any other recommendations or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.
