First Watercooling setup
 
Ok, as soon as I get a new hdd and monitor (Which should be soon) I will be ready to get my baby watercooled. I currently have a couple panaflows and a delta running in my case, and the Delta is driving me mad. I am not going for super cool temps for oc'ing, I just want it to run cool and quiet. I've got a p4 so i'm going with the maze3, but what about a decent rad and pump, and most importantly realllly quiet fans for the rad. Ah, and how about a wb for the gf4, i do have that one overclocked, and while I'm watercooling the cpu, may as well do that too.

for pumps/rads/blocks/fans you should check out cooltechnica.com, they have only good stuff

For a pump, I would suggest; IF, you have the cash, get a Danner or if you have to, ano overpriced Eheim... I've heard nothing but good things about this VIa 1300+ under the PRODEALS section... For the Rad, hit up a scrap yard, bring some bashing and smashing tools and look for either a Chevette or a Ford Festiva (that's where my rad came from, bitch to get out!) and start whacking away at all the plastic under the dash... DO NOT try and unscrew and be clean about it... there's too much metal and junk. Just break everything away and take the prize! You're going to get sweaty and dirty no matter what! lol...

Fans: I'd look into the new Panaflow Hydrowave series. THey are pretty cheap, flow massive air and the loudest 120mm I've seen listed is a minor 45db@125CFM!

BLocks: The Innvotech is the coolest rated I've seen, I have yet to see reviews of the Dtek (GOD it's sexy), maze3, Swiftech (more overpriced stuff IMO!) The WB shoot out showed that Cooltech's or something like that, scored the coolest, followed by Tom Leuftkins etc... or you could do like me and find a copper base plate, cut to size, buy a 1-1/2" copper end cap at home depot, get some brazing wire or silver/tin solder, some thin copper sheets or wire (say from an old refridge coolant line(s) ) and make you're own! Good luck! :cool:
