hey all im a newb to this but anyway

im thinking about building a watercooling system

but if any of you could give good examples of the pieces
(waterblocks, pumps, etc)
i'd like to have it all internal if possible and how much wattage all these products use
trying to convince parents of letting me get it :p
 
you've seen the light...thats good.

Waterblock: GeminiCool waterblocks are top performers. www.geminicool.com

Radiator: Heatercore from any auto parts store. you can buy then to specific sizes that fit your case. you can find them at eBay too.

Pump: MagDrive pumps are cool. Eheims are the most popular cause they're like cars (they can be repaired). You can get pumps at local aquarium shops or pet stores.

Hoses, hose clamps, hose barbs, JB Weld: home depot or any hardware store near you.

Reservoir: this is optional...it depends on your pump. if you want a reservoir you can use any plastic case with a lid.

you can get 120mm Fans and you can make a shroud for it out of cardboard. fairly simple.
