voigts, your sig is hilarious. I should be saving up money for auto repairs, but instead I'm buying a water-cooling system for my brand new computer.
I appreciate your comments. I think I would steer clear of the Corsair kit were it not for the high quality components and low price. I'm sure at some point I'll end up upgrading the radiator, but for now I think it'll work decently. Everything else is pretty top-notch. The tubing is actually 1/8" walled (3/8" ID, 1/2" OD) according to the reviews I've read. And I haven't researched a great deal on the reservoir versus T-line debate, but it seems to be just like the 3/8" ID versus 1/2" ID debate--there's no clear winner. I don't see how having larger tubing really helps. I suppose it would hold a larger volume of water in the system(which could be acheived with a reservoir), but I doubt it would move water more rapidly through the waterblocks or the radiator. Unless the pump is being restricted somehow by the smaller tubing. Maybe I'm not thinking clearly, but it seems like whatever the tubing size, the pump is only going to be able to move a certain volume of water per second.
I think that WACC P/A Reservoir is probably not worth the price, but the idea of having the system be cooled with no fans at all is intriguing. This may turn out to be a side project for me. With a little work, the same thing can be made out of a transmission cooler.
