water cooling in a case

[ash_scotland88]

I think i know the answer but gonna let some-one back it up.
But is this any good? I realise the originial case aint worth that much.


Modified Chieftec Full Tower with mesh design.
Alphacool NexXxos Pro III Radiator with tripple 120mm 14dBa fans.
Eheim 600 Station II 12V pump with combined plexiglass reservoir.
Alphacool NexXxos XP Light copper water block.
AMD XP, AMD 64, Socket 754, 939, 940, Intel Socket 775 CPU adaptors.
Connected with 10mm tubing and pre filled with Tec-Protect-Plus fluid.


And how much of a market value would you put on it (although your not allowed to do that in these forums), pondering it as a possible silent/quiet case.

okay...think i might try my own water cooling
but twice a year the pc would be moved, uni and home, take it i would need to drain water?
just starting to read up on guides just now.
wanting something quiet as possible.

also would be looking for a case with holes/space allready accomodating for water cooling.
Just clicked on a thread before this one about an all in one kits (i know to stay away from these) that gives customes a run for the money....supposedly, gonna read up on that.....

The system in the first post is let down by a poor pump but is otherwise not terrible. I can't answer the value question although there is a forum for that in the MM.

As for your second post, many people rate the Silverstone TJ07, others like the Lian Li V1000, and of course there's always the Mountain Mods Cubes! Antec cases are good for water-cooling as is the excellent Akasa Eclipse.

i actually looked earlier at mountain mods, i keep changing between decent air cooling with an uber sexy case and the swiftech h2o 220 ultra.

edit:
I've used an other website and I think I've gone overboard on sizes, to begin with I would probally just use it to chill the CPU but may look at GPU cooling in the future when I gain more confidence:
1 x EK-Supreme CPU - Plexi
1 x Black Ice GT Stealth III
1 x 12V Laing D5 Vario Water Pump
1 x Zinc Plated Jubilee Wormdrive Clip 1/2" (10 Pack)
1 x PrimoChill Anti-Kink Coils 3/4"- Black
2 x Sharkoon 120mm Silent Eagle 1000
£156.72


tbh I just sort of thru it all togeather only reading a couple of small guides and with no product reviews. missing anything, for fitting it all togeather? I realise theres size differences with the clips and i havn't put in a coolant
