Picked up the core this evening. Cost a bit more than I've seen people say on the net ($33.00 at Autozone) but at least they had it and its all copper.

- Case: Antec SLK3800-B
I use this machine primarily for digital photography, music and video file processing and all the other usual stuff that everyone does, except for games. That is what the XBOX is for. ;-)
In the next 6 to 12 months, I expect to upgrade my processor to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor.
My objectives are to make this machine run as fast as possible for these applications (means overclocking) but be quiet. It currently is pretty loud with the stock setup.
Here is what I’m planning for the WC setup:
Storm G4 – already ordered
Laing D5 pump or equivalent
'77 Bonneville double heater core
1/2 tubing
4 Nexus fans in push/pull configuration
No reservoir
I will build a rad box that fits under and integrates with the Antec SLK3800-B. The fans will exhaust into the Antec.
Also, I suspect my PSU is responsible for a lot of the noise but I’ve yet to isolate it. Anything I can do to make it quieter?
I’ve not thought much about fan controls yet although I’m considering the T-Balancer.
What do you think? All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
