Default Re: WC, where to start?

Hi BGP Spook.

Thank you for your answer.

About the sum for the kit, I guess. For starters. However, if the kit price is over the top, given the performance, I don't mind spending less/the same for a better performing (noise and cooling) custom setup.

Sine I have a full tower which is fairly big (25 inches / 65 centimeters high, with 4 empty 5.25 bays up top out of 6 total), I suppose it would be nice to have it contained. I got the case specifically to have room to "grow" and/or add watercooling. But if the parts sticking out aren't noisy, I dont mind if i.e. the radiator sits outside the case. But I'm guessing the size of my case will allow me to contain the WC entirely?

I can't

Also, I have a question about this article:
http://www.spodesabode.com/content/article/watercool/1

Would you consider it to cover the basics of watercooling in a good way? I understand if you dont want to read the whole thing, but it would be nice to know if it is somewhat accurate. If I am going to assemble a custom WC, it would be helpful to at least know what is needed.
