I will be using an Ehiem 320pump with a car heatercore from my last setup(old 2500 barton from a few years ago

I am also going to purchase

Looks like you linked the tubing instead of the pump.

Kind of hard to tell form the pics, what the Hc is. Doesn't look to be a full 120.2 though, but should be PLENTY for just teh CPU. I like the shroud you fashioned. Always love to see the "ghetto" setups, it's things like that that really make this hobby.

Its hard to argue with $120. I like the acrylic shroud also. Very original

This is a perfect example of what can be done, for not that much money. In a small case none the less.

Well, all I can say is, I give you about 3-6 months before you over haul your build. It's addictive, and yo uwill be sitting there looking at it going, "You know, if I routed this cable over through here, put this over there....."

Two thumbs up for using plain copper pipe instead of adding those restrictive (and unnecessary) barbs!


You might want to replace those plastic barbed T's while you're at it. Copper T's work very well and add very little restriction to a loop. Your new 7/16" tubing will fit 1/2" copper pipe like a glove but may require a little hot water to get it started ...
