I am considering getting watercooling for my opty 144 and 6800gs. Im going to follow the advise of the sticky anfd start off with just the cpu. I've made a small shortlist of components that have been recommended. What should I go for, trying to keep it reasonably cheap and would like to get bits and pieces from the MM.

· PUMP –eheim 1048/1250, aquastream 50z,
· RADIATOR – XSPC R120D, dual heatercore, Black Ice pro
· BLOCK- swiftech storm, LRWW, Danger Den TDX, swiftech mcw6002
· TUBING, tygon
· RESERVOIR/FILLPORT – what do I need?


Cheers in advance

pump get the aqaustream if ya can get one... or a D5 that is similar design, ehiems are a bit large realy in size.

radiator XSPC are the cheapest but perform just aswell as any other but they are bigger than other brands... heater cores are huge and ugly but perform awesomely... BIP's are good very slim and perform well but can be loud when air is drawn thru them...
Blocks... storms are very good but rare now... and if ya can get one do so otherwise TDX is next best thing
Tubing 1/2" all the way but tygon goes funny very quickly... clearflex lasts longer but is a bit tougher.
reservoirs if you have space for one i.e DD bay res if ya dont have space filport mounted on top of case... hope that helps
 
Ok cheers, I dont think I'll be able to get the aquastream, cant find one anywherem anyone know the measurements of the Eheim 1250?
