Hi I am about to get a watercooling kit and still didn't decide whether to do Koolance quick disconnects or a T- line.

For koolance the parts I need are:

1. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-107-KA
2. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-112-KA

Do I need to order compression fitting with them?

OR a T-line , parts which I need are

1. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-061-AQ&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2588

2. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-216-XS

3. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-103-XS x3

Did I list all the things I need correctly I was going for the T- line first but on the long run the koolance QD 3 are better because I wouldn't have the headache to hide the T-line. But did I list all the things I needed? Tomorrow I am getting a kit and I am scared that the parts which I need won't fit.
 
Can i be given an answer please to verify the parts I need. I was going for the T line though as I think it is better and more easy to drain in a large bowl.

Please confirm so I can get the kit which I desire.

Thanks

here is a pic of mine, thats using one of the bitspower shiny T fittings but want to change that too a Q fitting so that it points towards the window as there is another rad going in.

the female qd3 for 1/2 (this depends on your tubing, i'm using 16/11 and its what i use) this is the bit you attach a piece of tube to and plug into the male when draining

this is the threaded male 1/4 bsp which you have already selected http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=wc-112-ka
q fitting http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=wc-207-bp&groupid=962&catid=2589&subcat=2593
also need one of these to screw into rad and q http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ktdetailseite&emcs2=wc-207-bp&emcs3=wc-156-bp

that female i specced will be fine, just boil some water and place in a cup and dip the end of the tube in, then place on QD3, use a pair of pliers to slide the clamp over the bard, make sure it goes past the ridge
 
If I go with the T line, the parts I listed should get along fine? Or they won't fit, also with the aqua computer ball valve threaded at both ends I won't need any compression fittings right ?

I was planning to do a ~30cm T line So I can easy drain into a bowl and will hide it in the back of the motherboard tray as it won't be a problem in the 900D
 
The setup will be like this for now:
Phase 1: Cpu Only and will be using 7/16 tubing

Before the tubing goes back to the reservoir I will be creating a T Splitter : Would this parts fit?

Xspc G 1/4 to 7/16¬ Xspc T splitter G 1/4¬ Compression fittins on it's remaining two ends, One going back to the reservoir and the other to the aqua ball valve. Will I need Compression fittings or I won't need any additional fittings with that stopping valve.


Thanks a lot, Sorry for bringing this again I just need to be sure as shipping is expensive and I am from Malta so won't have to pay twice.

Isnt that the asus board Nick that can be water cooled vrms inbuilt?
 
I am begging you before I place an order if the Aqua computer valve fit with my tubing and if I need any fittings for them in order to fit them with the Aqua computer plug& cool could you tell me if those fittings will fit?

Thanks

Final version i decided to add a tubing between the valve with a compression fitting <Tubing< Compression fitting<Multi adapter 2x female <Plug. It can be easier seeing that the valve is doing it's work and with clear I can see if water is passing thru the valve and If water leaks a bit thru the valve I will be protected by the plug at the end of the tubing.
