Hi all.
Ok, ok. I know it's much better to build your own system. And if I have the "hand" ability or that, I would.
But there is an extra problem: my own notion of "aesthetics" (hope I spelled it right). I do loe to use the 5 1/4" bays to place much of the system. I do hate to wee the radiator or the pump "laying around" the case. I can accept the reseroir, in the case of those acrylic tbes or "bull's eye" kind of reservoir, and even those prefereably direct bound to the roof of the case for better and easier filling of the system. And the cpu block: this has to be easy of install.
Do to all this, and my lack of handcraft abilities, I started to really consider the AS-3000 kit. I can mod it later. And the only place where it's really expensive is... well, my own country ( ), but I'm trying to find ways around this.
Anyway, I'm placing some pictures of the kit opened (from this site review: http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/cooling/Kingwin_AquaStar/pg3.htm) to illustrate it for the first question: Is there a way to BUILD a system like this? How?
The second question: since I won't over my gpu, would such a system worth installing the gpu wc block in my gecube radeon x600xt 256Mb?
The third question: is the sequence depicted in the attatched figure optimal?
Fourth: Any extra ideas on how to mod this thing more, or to the "derived build" that I could build by someones ideas on how to?
Btw, studing this kit: From what I can see, it's main limitation would be the small pump?
Thanks a lot in adance to eerybody!
