Water Cooling Setup

would this be a good setup for a water cooled system. Anyone suggest some decent water cooling manufaturers. I was looking at danger den. Does the 1/2in tube make a difference. Any good sites that compare these types of things. Any other information is welcome about the topic thanks

note: i am planning on running an A64 and a R9700Pro. Also will have two WD raptors running at 10k RPMs. I know i need a large case for all this. Any sugestions???

First thing you need, is to put the pump AFTER the reservoir, not in front of it. The pump needs to TAKE FROM the reservoir, and pump to the CPU, Vid card, then to the hard drives. I dont think having the second radiator is necessary. Just the one before the tank(reservoir) is needed. You need the tank to be unpressurized so you can add water to the system if needed.

Dont use 1/2 tubing unless its free and you are willing to do about half again the amount of work that you would with smaller tubing. 3/8ths is generally preferred. I think 1/2 much too expensive for the amount of cooling you will be doing, and you will run into turning radius problems with 1/2 that you WONT if you use 1/4 or 3/8.

Look and compare then decide what you want to do.
