I'm looking to water-cool my rig :) ... but on a seriously tight budget. :(

anyone got any sugesstions as to what kit would be the best value?

cheers

Riiight...
I was originally thinking under £100, but luckily (thanks to some shrewd dealings) i can probally afford up to £150-160

I'm currently running a Verrrry quiet Air setup (god bless the AC freezer 64 Pro) so the main reason for me wanting to upgrade is performance-related.

my end-goal is to be able to pelt both my GPU's... but thats a way off yet. I just need a fairly basic system which'll keep my system cool and keep my optons open for expanding it.

cheers
 
Right.. I was thinking a setup similar to what follows:

Alphacool AGB-Eheim 600 Station II 230V Pump

Alphacool NexXxoS NVXP-3 6800/7800/7900 VGA Block

CPU Alphacool NexXxoS HP Pro AMD 64 CPU Block

Alphacool NexXxoS Xtreme I Radiator

Repack-cooling Mini Slot-In 3,5" UV Resevoir

+ Connectors +Hosing +Water additives

for just shy of £150...

i'm not a complete noob at assembling it all, having built a watercooled rig for someone richer than me. But i'm a little sketchy on what kit is best.

btw... it's cooling a week 18 3000+... muhahahahaha! Proud because I recently got it stable with FSB 275 and on measly air cooling :D
 
sweeet...

I'm still waiting to get paid :(

Is there any disadvantage of using a heater core over a water-cooling specific radiator?

what about connectors/barbs?
