Your link + Delivery = £103.68

A quick one :

Shot at 2008-01-11

Distilled water ( Morrisons/Tesco )75p / litre
Biocide/additive ( Google )£3.00
Jubillee clips ( Local Hardware store ) £2.00

Grand Total = £ 116.41

£12 over budget

- But would beat the pants off that kit

Cheers,

How come you went with 3/8" for that lil setup?

The OPs' Budget .

The cheapest Radiator - Built-in 3/8" hose barbs.

No other reason

Don’t have much choice with that cheap rad with its built in 3/8" outlets.
The Apogee GT works well with 3/8" tubes anyway, its not the most free flowing of water blocks.

There's nothing wrong with 3/8" ID just a historical bias towards 1/2" from when it was believed that hi-flow was the be-all and end-all of Water-cooling. Recent testing has shown that there is little difference between 1/2 and 3/8 with 7/16 being arguably optimal.
