and i went and spent all my cash on a HOOT CHUTE!
hehee i guess thats what you all call em.but thats the setup ive seen posted and called that here so its what i call it now!

see how bad influences you are?! anyhow its worken great so far on my table. ill keep her there for 1 or 2 days for leak/failure check.
ordered a Z4 block for my cpu be here next week.ill post some temps just so you guys can keep me in check.

i did find out if you do your homework you can actually build something that works plus i saved a crap load of money.i was gonna just order a kit origanally. expensive for lower standard equipment usually. if its top notch it was out of my budget.but i thought was my computer a kit? whos gonna work on this me or some guy in timbuktu?

parts fast run down.
6x6 all copper heater core-$29 at auto zone
350gph danner mag drive-around $45 bucks on sale at petland-that was %40 off!
5/8" hosing. then tapered at my cpu hook up to 1/2"
some water wetter-$4.88 at pep boys on sale!

you dont need my small details im sure.but it was one heck of a experiance. i hit proble 6 stores just getting parts -that doesnt count my prevous trips researching prices. even the guy at the last place in my trip was to a local hardware store got al my fittings and even sweated my elbows for free!. hey i gave him a $5 tip for dat. i appreciate good service.


only bad experiance was one internet company who only answered thier phone once in 3 days i tried ordering my leufken waterblock and that time they said to call back at 4 pm. lol noone answered at 4 either! 3 messages to that place i didnt mention.
sorry to rag em but geeeez. if its a personal matter that needed attention at thier store ill appoligize publicly here.

but overclockers-hideout was gracious enough to sell me one of there great Z4's. im gonna love it aint i? plus they were most helpfull in helping me get a product that really isnt easy to obtain.
actually i couldnt find one in the whole state of ohio for sale! i was gonna drive and pick it up btw.

if you think i did something wrong with part of that setup pass it on so i can make canges now.http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62917 there is a pic in that thread is exactly how i set it up.
thanks again guys for all the help. i couldnt have done this without oc.com! :p

I just fired my system up after building my own water cooling setup. I did the same as you. visited all the hardware and parts houses. I used a 500 gph bilge pump and a 7 x 6 x 2 heater core. Dropped my temps from 43c 45 c under load to 29 c. Now aint that cool?
Hope your setup goes as good as mine. I have some special things done that will come in handy later.
good luck

The Hoot Shute (http://www.overclockers.com/tips461/) was an Air delivery method, I think your talking about Hoot goes H2O

After I saw Hoots setup I vowed to duplicate that clean layout...

I think it's pretty much safe to say that we are all geeks here. I plauy hockey, I play football, I've got a nice girlfriend, I'm buff, but I'm a geek and darn proud of it. I just refuse to be labelled a nerd. I abhor the thought of being labelled a nerd. If you think being a geek isn't cool, then you don't belong here, because if you've seen a certain website that I know, you'll see that we're all geeks, because we think like them and they ThinkGeek

I hope that doesn't qualify as advertising for them, but they illustrate my point so nicely:(
