Wow, quick replies.
Scooterfl, thanks and yes I have been looking at the interactive waterblock chart - Its a good way of presenting data. It suggests that it is worth going down the 1/2" route but then again the DDC has smaller barbs than that, so if I was going to use a DDC then 3/8" ID would be a more natural choice... questions dont lead to answers but to more questions! I think that the data Cathar presents here
Performance Vs Hydraulic Power
is the pretty much the same as the interactive chart, except presented slightly differently. Makes me wonder why the MCP600 was replaced by the MCP650 though?
Bob, the main reason for wanting to watercool my PC is that I want to make it quieter. The fans are driving me nuts - I leave my PC on 24/7 and can hear the fans whine at night. Now that you mention it a new case might help too, as the Coolermaster I have has 4 80mm fans which won't be helping the cause. What do you mean by "Big Momma" cores? I've read threads about BI pro Vs BI extreme where someone said that the Pro is better when used with lower output fans (or fans at reduced voltage), but haven't come across much relating to Big Mommas. Are there any cases out there that would accept a 120.2 or Pro II in the front, either horizontally or vertically? Would a big momma in the front give comparable heat dissipation to one of these?
many thanks again

Nick
/edit/ Bob, I hadn't looked hard enough - review of Big Momma is easy to find in the Reviews section. Is it still the radiator of choice for a WC system as the review is quite old?
