I've been researching, documenting, and thinking some more. I am inviting some feedback on what I plan on purchasing.
My current setup is this:
Aopen HX08
XP2100+
A7N8X Dlx
2 cdroms
2 HDDs

My major concerns are 1.)noise, 2.) price, 3.) temps. I looked at the 'newbie' kits ( aquarius / iceberg systems ) and honestly I don't see the benefit when I can get virtually same temps via air.
So my plan is this:
Via Aqua 1300 - 55
Maze 3 Waterblock - 70
1/2" ID Hoses - 8
Chevette Heatercore - < 25? - used likely
Total under $200 CAN dollars.
Reservoir unknown at this point, but a minor detail.
(4) Panaflo 120mm volt modded to 'supposedly' produce 19dBa @ 37cfms ( 2 for rad - push/pull, and 1 exhaust / 1 intake ).
I'm aiming for something around 10°C above ambient.
