I saw the old poll on this subject was getting pretty long in the tooth, so I figured I would close out the old poll and start a new one up. I will set this poll up to last 1 year, after which I will start another poll and try to do this yearly.


Anyways, How much did you spend on your water cooling setup?

I'll start off with the loop in my main system:

pump - $60
cpu block - $50
gpu block and ramsinks - $80
PA120.3 - $115
heater core - $20
Reservoir - $50
tubing - $30
fans - $25
misc - $20
Total -$450

That's just a rough estimate off the top of my head.

planning on increasing that number before too much longer though

If I were building one from scratch today it'd run about $220 or so depending on the fans and including the GPU. The MCW60 is cheap ($40), Fusion is still a great block (especially with my home-made jet $55), a single MCP655 ($60), and I love heater cores - a pair would do fine ($40) - leaving $25± for the other odds and ends. Even if I spent $50 on fans, clamps, and hoses it's still under $250 total ...

I paid $150 for everything in my sig (+ tubing and nozzles etc). But its value even 1.5 years ago was well over that. So I put $250-$300.

Heh, muddocktor, you might want to add a couple higher options, judging from the poll results.

So far this year I got a new block (cheap off Xoxide) and a Swiftech pump (cheap off Sidewinder) so a bit over $100. Still need the hold down plate for the block depending on which board I end up going with in a month and I', reusing my current 120x2 rad. I still need to replace reservoir as the current one is tied to Thermaltake pump I'm currently using.

Next time I list a new poll I will add another higher category to it (maybe even 2). I hate to change it right now since quite a few have already voted. But you are right, since almost half who have voted have gone with the highest cost category already.
