Ehiem 1048
Black Ice Pro core
6 adj plastic hose clamps(didn't count just guessed high)
Clearflex 60, 10ft
4oz water wetter
4oz zerex (water wetter can improve ethyl based coolants)
UV Cathode kit

or if everything looks good just don't respond

get heatercore rather than BIP

RnPgrosz · Mar 3, 2003

I agree with WhiteHawk, unless you have space constraints go with a regular heatercore(which can also be found on DangerDen's site). A heatercore will perform better because of it's larger area.

TonyKlem · Mar 3, 2003

yes defiantely a HeaterCore instead of a Black Ice WAY less expenxive and better performance (i think) unless that is... it doesnt fit?? dont see why it wouldnt though

my heatercore from chevy nova is downright huge. i had to take out every drive cage. it fits with about 2 inches clearence from cdrom drive

, but my friend has chevette and it fits well with 1 drive cage still in.

i plan to use an alum version of the popular antec cases. i found one with a window for $75 on new egg. how well does the heater core fit in those?

They fit very well. I got a 9.5" x 5.125" x 2" Chevy Caprice core to fit in mine by taking out both 3 1/2" cages.

i was hoping to leave one drive cage in. would that be possible with the "heatercore" from danger den?

You will probably have to remove the drive cages, heatercores are big, expecially if you include (which you should) a fan and shroud. I would get a larger pump. the 10xx's kind of suck, get a 1250 at the least.

With the heatercore, you can leave one drive cage in. You still need either a resevior, or a T-fitting.

go with a t

off topic a bit here but im buying a DD waterblock soon myself and i was gonna get the m3 lucite top (looks sweet)
in all honestly is it ever gonna leak with a enheim1250 pump
or should i get the copper top to be safe?

emericanchaos · Mar 5, 2003

from what i've heard the lucite tops are prone to cracking. i'd rather spend an extra $5 for the copper top than risk water in my system.
