I'm planning on building a completely water cooled PC by the end of this year. I want to wait out till all the new stuff comes out (S939 for A64, BTX Standard, new graphics cards, PCI-E, etc.) so I am planning on building this machine by the end of this year (hopefully )
Ok, here are what my parts would most likely be. I know things might change till the end of the year, but I just want to hear some comments from you guys on what I should get and should be looking at. I don't have water blocks added to this setup because I simply don't know what kind will be needed for the newer graphics cards and motherboards.
Here we go:
-Swiftech MCP600 12V DC pump- $79.95
(http://store.pcpowerzone.com/swmc12vdcpu.html)
-Typhoon-Quad- $29.95
Drive Bay Reservoir (it's nice to use up those CD drive bays that just sit there, unused gathering dust It would be sweet to have 2 optical drives, fan controller and watercooling there. Looks nice too!)
(http://store.pcpowerzone.com/drbaymocore.html)
-Danger Den Black Ice Xtreme Radiator- $65
(http://store.pcpowerzone.com/blackicextreme.html)
-10 feet (how much would be enough for a full-tower case, radiator, pump, tank, cpu, gpu, and chipset water blocks?) of 1/2" Tygon R-3603 Tubing- it's 29 bucks for 10 feet!!

-10x Adjustable Plastic Hose Clamp- $7.50 for 10
(http://store.pcpowerzone.com/adplashoscla.html)
-Red Line WaterWetter- $4.99
(http://store.pcpowerzone.com/redlinwat.html)
-Enermax Adjustable Speed 120mm Cooling fan, Model "UC-12FAB-B" -RETAIL- $12.05
(http://secure.newegg.com/app/shoppingcart.asp?DEPA=1&submit=ADD&item=11-999-012)
-Mini-Cool shroud for Black Ice Radiators- $9.99
(http://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Mini-Coolshroud-BLK)
Total Co$t: $238.43
This leaves a good 100 bucks for water blocks.
Any comments, suggestions, or help would be greatly appreciated.
