Hiya All,
Well i finally decided to make a new watercooling comp but need a few advice on components. Please tell me what you think/suggestions
CPU Block: Storm Rev 2 (Opteron 165)
GPU Block: MCW60 (X1900XT)
Pump: MCP655/D5 or Alphacool AP 1510? I know the MCP655/D5 is highly recommended but i found the AP 1510 on perf pcs while browsing.

Anyone have any experience with it? Its more powerful than the MCP655 but not sure on heat dump, although u can change the voltages on it. Need some input on this one
Radiator: Thermochill PA120.3
Reservoir: Not sure which res to go either. What would be a good one for a high flow pump besides the MCRES-Micro?
Fans: Scythe S-Flex/Yate Loons/Panaflo, havent decided on these either but swapping fans is easy enough. Going for slightly more performance than noise.
Tubing: 1/2" Tygon
Fluid: Permochill PC ICE/MCT-5/FluidXP. I want something thats non-conductive. I know i know, distilled + some sorta additive like pentosin is better but I like peace of mind and I do take my computer places sometimes. That and I dont have a whole lot of time for mixing, etc or money to replace parts in case theres a defect somewhere or i did something wrong. I cant decide which non-conductive fluid to go with though. Put them in order from which im leaning more towards but not sure. Also i know the Storm uses impingement so a fluid that leaves stuff to get stuck in the jets isnt a good thing so thats something im keeping in mind. Maybe Clear PC Ice would be a good option so theres none of that dye junk but I do like pretty UV stuff like everyone else
Thanks for your help in advanced
