Good luck with it and keep us updated with pics :p

Oh and, sorry! You were going to spend around £300. Now you're spending £500 :D

Oh well, I'm planning a monster build for when Ivy Bridge comes out, hoping to spend around £3000 and get a RevoDrive! :D

Reason I'm asking this so early, is because I genuinely know nothing on watercooling (as you can tell) and I want to learn as much as I can.

I'll definitely make a build log with lots of pictures :D

sweet!

Have a look at the sticky in the watercooling forum, the one written by Shayper.

Make sure you do your research beforehand :)

And make sure you always ask, there are plenty of helpful people on the forums :)

For your monster build, I think you should donate a revo drive to the person who answered most of your questions in this thread :p:D:D;);)

The above basket looks fine.

Will you be waiting for your ivy stuff to arrive before you liquid cool? Also, I would recommend buying some of THIS sleeve when you do your build

Already read it ;)

I'm looking through some tutorials on YouTube at the moment. Things are starting to become a little clearer :p

Of course! :p ;)

Thank you :)

Yeah, I'll be buying the whole PC at the same time.

Are you just trying to make me spend more! :p

Do they deliver to the UK? Saw that the prices are in Euros.

Didn't know Silverstone even did power supplies; OcUK don't stock them.

I was going to get an OCZ ZX Series, but prices will probably have changed a lot by the time I get round to ordering.
 
The reason I say the silverstone is that every single cable comes off, it is silent, has 5 yrs warranty, got good reviews and it's quite short :)
 
I have been looking at 1kw+ psu's, the silverstone does pretty well overall and only johnnyguru's review had anything negative to say about it, wasn't that bad either as it still scored 8.5/10. It's a snip at £119.98 as well :)
 
Hmm, I have a look at that one then. :)

Just one quick question I forgot to ask, how often do I have to replace the fluid?
