Cheapest/Best water cooling system

colb · 12-31-05, 04:39 AM

hey guys im looking and saving for water cooling kits but i dont know which ones are good so if somone could leave me url's or w/e that would be great

Aidenswarrior · 12-31-05, 04:46 AM

budget?

Flip-Mode · 12-31-05, 04:51 AM

There is good deal on a WhiteWate block at d-tek.

custom90gt · 12-31-05, 09:45 AM

like Aidenswarrior said, whats your budget? Also, list what components you plan to wc and what case you have? Like most things cheapest/best dont go well together in the wcing department. I would spend some time on the forums making constructive posts so you can view the classifieds (not spamming then you'll never see them), it takes 100+ for them to be available to you. That way you can find some great deals on slightly used/leaktested parts.

You know I have toyed with it somewhat myself. www.DangerDen.com has the best price by far on the Black Ice Radiators. And www.performance-pcs.com has the best price on the Eheim 1250's.

cheapest:

Via Aqua 1300 (if you can still get them) $17 shipped
5 gallon bucket $3.47 at home depot
Tubing and clamps: $5 a home depot
Waterblock: any used waterblock $20-25 shipped

Some nice kits HERE pick your own choice of blocks.

5|*42 · 12-31-05, 12:41 PM

Don't forget a radiator pat. And last i checked marinedepot.com still has 1700s.
But colb, did you want a kit? Or were you gonna build your own?

colb · 12-31-05, 01:20 PM

5|*42, the 5 gallon bucket acts as a radiator.

That kit is comprised of all quality parts. that site carries all of PolarFlo and danger den with prices slightly lower. The kit comes with everyting you would need. You could buy the one without block and pick your own block or look at the kits bundled with various blocks.

colb · 12-31-05, 10:59 PM

so that kit comes with all i need, do i need a certain case to put it in?

You can get them over at Doctors Foster & Smith.com & they've dropped the price on them as well. You might as well get the 1800 while you're at it since theres a $1.60 difference between the 1300 & 1800.

are the cases at performance-pcs.com all for water cooling? And what would be the right case for it, or the right cases, like brands would be nice. i have an Antec.

pwnt by pat · 01-01-06, 05:57 PM

Any case can do almost anything you want.

colb · 01-03-06, 07:19 PM

i dont mean to do anything i want, but the space part

colb · 01-03-06, 07:35 PM

another question....is there any way of fitting the radiator inside the case, or will i have to put it on top like ive seen other peoples?

On large cases (Armor, Stacker) you can place the rad infront with no/very little modding. Also there is the Swiftech RadBox thing where you can mount the rad in the back of the case, check their site for pics.

www.performance-pcs.com has a sale on all of old-style switftech 600x pre-compiled kits - great deal and great performance for introductory water cooling if you ask me
