Watercooling starter kit

I would like to watercool my setup just for fun more than anything.

What would be an ideal place to start?

Currently have an i5-2500k with an artic freezer 13 cooler.

What do you want to cool? cpu? or gpu aswell? for cpu id get the XSPC RX240 kit, can be had for around £170.

The cpu would be a good start

GPU water cooling looks a little complex.

Anyone tried water cooling in an Antec 100 yet?

Not sure. I googled it and nothing came up.

what's the difference between the XSPC RX240 kit and XSPC RS240 kit

Also is the XSPC RX120 kit or XSPC RS120 kit not really enough to cool a CPU?

The difference between the RX and RS is that the RX has a thicker radiator, so it has better cooling properties. I don't think a 240 rad will fit in the antec 100, so id get the RX120 kit which should be more than enough to cool your chip.

With a bit of modding, I'm sure you can get a 240 rad in a 100, if not a 360 rad

I could do it for you, if you were willing to pay postage. Serious.
