Hey guys, its been almost 2 years now, of being a computer enthusaist, and i think its fair to say that i'm almost ready for water. (all except for having a the money to fund for my little project.) I'm only cooling cpu for now.
Anyway, i'm getting a swiftch storm block and a dual 120mm radiator (not that good but i can live with it for awhile.) I'm getting tubes and clamps and aquarium-grade algaecide from homedepot, so the only two questions left.
1. What is a good price/performance/noise pump? I know tyreal says getting a good pump like his $100+ swiftech one is a good idea, but is there anything slightly cheaper?
2. Do i need a resevoir? I know it'll be easier changing the water with a res, i've also heard something about not worrying about air getting trapped in the tubes with a res.
For solution, i'll be using distilled with some poisonous algaecide from tyreal. Although having somje of those coloured solutions also appeals to me. I've seen a purple/green/blue ones. Are those any good?
All opinions welcome.
