whats the best way to go into water cooling ?
i want to start this after xmas and was wondering if its worth buying a ready made water cooling set or buy the items individually ?
could some one post a picture of the items they would buy please.
 
parts bought is the best way but it's not cheap.

If money was no object:

Pump = DDC 18W with a aftermarket top.
CPU block = swiftech GTZ.
Res = mcres or res to fit your build really.
GPU = EK full cover block.
Rad = Thermochill PA120.3.
Fluid = Distilled water with a few drops of PT nuke in it.
Barbs = Dtek 1/2" high flow barbs.
Tubing = Muskateer 7/16" clear and small cable ties.
Fans = Yate loon low speeds 7v modded.

That's pretty much the top set up on the Market right now but unless your planning to keep your graphics card for awhile or you can get a second hand block go with a universal one that you can use on future upgrades.

im looking to spend about £200,space is not a issue as i have a large case.
so....would a large radiator with 3 fans be better than a 2 fan radiator ?
 
just the cpu for now.
i will get a new g/c later on in the new year and will cool that as well.
in the future i will cool everything but for now i want to cool my conroe.
