I'm going to order my WC parts this week, but so much has changed since I last looked at this stuff. I was wondering if some of y'all kind folks would mind lending me a hand?
Pump: I really don't know. I guess it depends on the rest of the system, but I would like to run my system 24/7 (not saying that it'll be on 25/7/365- I just leave it on overnight from time to time), and not spend a fortune. Quiet is a keyword for me, so I was thinking the Mag Drive by Danner, but I don't know about GPH.
CPU Block: Also don't know. I'm not looking for fancy, just problem-free & pretty cheap. A few *c doesn't really matter to me, just so long as it cools & dosn't break.
GF4 Block: Don't know too much these days, do I? I was thinking Danger Den's GF4 block, but some of those Innovative Tek look pretty cool. Same thing as the CPU WB, cheap & works would be great.
I've got the res & rad taken care of, I'm using a 4 gallon copper bucket (maybe copper alloy or something-doesn't really look like solid copper), but I don't know if I should go with 1/2" or 3/8. Guess it depends on the block & pump?
I'm also confused about tubing-this tygon stuff would be better? Any place I can get it cheap (don't suppose they sell it at the Home Depot?)?
Oh, and a pretty big question in my mind- what's up with airtraps? To prevent bubbles in the system (right?), but do I have to have one? What should I make it out of?
I know I asking about 57 too many questions, but could anyone please help me out? I'd really love to do this, I just don't know too much about it. Please? Anything at all would be fantastic!!
Thank y'all for even reading this far; really, thanks
