Greetings all. I just finished assembling my current water cooling setup tonight; right now I am doing some leak-testing before install it on my chip.

My loop is set up as follows: resevior --> pump --> waterblock --> radiator --> resevior. I built the majority of my system in a separate housing (made from an old AT case I had laying around) which is going to reside approximately 9' from my computer. Inside the "pump house" is my Little Giant 3-MD-SC pump, which is connected by some 3/4" ABS riser and a 3/4" garden hose connection to my 3" ABS resevior that holds 1.39L. My block is a D-TEK TC-4 with 1/2" fittings, and my radiator is a Chevette heatercore (modified for a 5/8" hose barb on the intake) with a low speed 120mm Panaflo connected to it via a custom tin shroud. I am using Clearflex60 Nalgene 1/2"x3/4" tubing for all of my runs, and 5/8" hose barbs for all my connections, except those on my block. I haven't done a flow test as of yet, but I am adding a pressure gauge tomorrow once the plumber's goop dries; this should allow me to determine the flow rate directly from my pump's H-Q curve.

I don't have any pictures as of the moment, but when my girlfriend comes over this weekend she's going to bring her digital camera, and I'll post some after that. In the mean time, I'm interested in any comments or questions you have.
