This is what my first water cooling setup is going to be. Do I have EVERYTHING (I mean EVERYTHING)? Will I be able to mount that radiator on the top of my case where my current 120mm fan is? Is that shroud good enough? Don't I need a little cap for my T-Line or something? hehe

Thanks :)

like I said in your previous post that you need Tee Cap or Fill Port for your T-Connector, do a quick measurement of your case and compare it with the size of the radiator
 
Ok, I added a Tee Cap to the list I have.

If I have the space, should I be able to attach the radiator to the bottom of my fan I have on the top of my case so that the fan sucks air out of the radiator and out of the case?
 
you will not notice temp differences using push/pull configuration on that rad only give you more noise so I suggest stick with pull configuration, I don't see you have decided on the fan to use on that rad yet, go with panaflo m1a
 
I already have this one in my case where I was planning on leaving it for the water cooling:

Is this a good way to set it up?

the fan listed above is not a good fan, 69.15CFM with 39dBA which is loud but low airflow, either replace your fan with Evercool Chrome Fan 84.75CFM with 32dBA or Panaflo M1A for quiet with good airflow
 
go to www.newegg.com and get a sunon 120x38mm fan - they push 108cfm at only 45db (it says so atleast - i think its more like ~38db if you don't count wind noise)


i have 6 of thoes beasts mounted on my radiator (3 blow, 3 suck)
 
I'm going to go ahead and get one of these because I can adjust the speed of the fan (I want a quiet setup).

Is there anything else I'm forgetting in my list? I need all the supplies for my setup because this is my first WC setup.

just get any 120mm fan you want and a vantec nexux fan controller
 
he doesn't need a fan controller since he only uses single fan unless he wants to control his case fans also otherwise it's not worth to buy a fan controller

I have 5 of the 120mm ones and 4 of the 80mm ones. Nice fans altho they do get loud when turned all the way up.
 
Ok, I placed the order, and you should see a thread with pictures shortly! :)

Thanks for the help! :D
