Help me with first watercooling project

there's loads.

Alphacool DDC Pump Acrylic Top
EK-DDC X-TOP Rev.2 Acetal or Plexi
XSPC DDC Pump Acrylic Top
Petras Tech DDCT-01s Delrin

Depends if you want a black one or clear. I don't think there's much difference in them tbh.
 
Great pump, got one myself!
Get one of the plexi tops mentioned above, they improve it loads.
Also you can feed into the pump from directly above or from same side as out, and out from the side.
It will come with anti vib mounts so you could either use 2 of these and mount it in the bottom left on 2 of them, or if you are planning your rad to go on the bottom get a 5 1/4" -> 3 1/2" adaptor and mount it above a hard drive, you have plenty of free slots.
If you mount the pump in a 5 1/4" bay then I would not go for a bay res, as the tube will have to bend right back on itself to go from res to pump and my be asking for kinks or you will have to use a couple of 90degress fittings. But a small swiftech res or EK do a 100ml mutiport could easily be mounted on the lefthand side.
What might be good would be to use the small ek multiport and mount it outside at the back taking the tubes through a modified back plate above or below the gfx card. Then you can check water levels and fill without opening the case?
 
Better remove the competitor - thety still stock same parts that Ocuk sells.
Just put the details of the item.
 
Ok here is the pic http://s552.photobucket.com/albums/jj339/oggiet/?action=view&current=p60f002.jpg

As you can see i got radiator , pump and res all prity close to each other...would this me a problem.
Aslo thermal 120.3 is 430mm long and pump is 80mm which gives 510mm. Prob is my bottom is only 460mm long, is there any radiator that is shorter that would be good enough...or should i just place the pump in drive bay. Also which would connect into what (flow wise) ??
 
I get you mate, thought that might be the case. Ok so i guess will go for one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-009-XS&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1040&name=XSPC%20Single%20Bay%20Reservoir%20-%20Black, mount that in hard drive bay and then underneath have pump mounted on top of hard drive cage. That way it will all be hidden and neat.
One question regarding that res, does it slide out the front of case,,,,how would i fill it up.

Sorry for all these questions, just want to get everything worked out in my head so can order :)
 
Nice one, how is this for list:

EK 4870 X2 Acrylic Full Cover VGA Water Block
Thermochill PA120.3 120mm Triple Radiator (with 3 x YATE LOON 120mm)
Laing DDC 1+ Ultra 18W 12V DC Pump (with top)
Swiftech Apogee GTZ (LGA775) Waterblock
XSPC Single Bay Reservoir - Black
Feser One UV Reactive Coolant 1 Litre (Clear/Blue)
Feser Tube Blue UV 1/2 - 1M Length
XSPC Tubing Clip For 1/2" Hose (2 packs of 20)

Guess thats all, what sort of barbs would i need and how many ??
 
Get 7/16" tubing and 1/2" barbs then you dont need clips as the tubing is soo tight. Dtek high flow 1/2" barbs are the boys you want. The rad will need adaptors as the thread is bigger.
 
Yea 2 of the first then each item on your list will need 2 of the Dtek unless it says there supplied with them on the website. I dont buy watercooling from here so i cannot comment on what they supply in the way of barbs.
 
Nice one mate, all your help is greatly appreciated. Will look to make an order this weekend ..... my mrs is not gonna be happy when she founds out its around £300 :D
