Best water cooling components for custom setup? Loads of questions

[Burki]

I'm pretty much settled on building a custom water cooling setup (based on sound advice from several of you in these forums ).

So I've been checking out various components, but would like to know what anyone recommends for:

- Pump (minimum flow I should look for? What's best brand, source?)
- Radiator (best for an internal fit inside an Eclipse 62 case?)
- CPU block
- GPU block
- Tubing (best width, brands?)

Any other recommendations, like:
Best coolant?
Anti-algae fluid worthwhile?
Any other bits and bobs I should make sure i have before starting out?

I really appreciate any advice, especially from those with direct experience of the components themselves - good or bad!
Cheers

What you're looking for is "all the answers" so I would suggest you look at the Extreme Cooling sticky first. It contains links to FAQ, vendors, galleries, etc. from which you can learn many things, my young padawan. Read, ingest, sift and plan and when you have more specific questions I and many others will be delighted to advise.

assuming you go for 1/2" id recommend Tygon R3603 Tubing,
ive used about 4 different types and this is by far the best,
doesnt kink and has a nice thick 1/8" wall.

Ive ued the original apex tubing, masterkleer and some other one.

Maskterkleer - the cheapest one is the worst ever, £0.29p per foot for a reason lol.
