    Here is what you will need for the GETO EXOS.

    I read a lot about watercooling and picked what I tohught were the most reasonably priced components, I will make a list of them, hopefully this can eb helpful to behinners. The said setup is CPU only but can easily be modified to add in a GPU waterblock.

    CPU Block - DD RBX $53

    Radiator - D-Tek Cooler Core $32

    Pump - Danner MagDrive 5 $50

    Tubing - 1/2" ID Heater Hose ~ 10' (between $10 and $15)
    Check your local car store

    Clamps - Adjustable steel clamps, quantity 10, around $1 each
    Check your local hardware store

    Resivior - 16" x 8" x 6" plastic bin, should be around $5
    Check your local Walmart-esque store.

    120mm fan - $5 or so
    Check the modding shop of your choice

    What you do is attach the waterblock. Run the tubes out of an extra hole in the back of your case.

    On the lid of the bin mount the radiator and pump. Cut 2 holes in the lid and put a bit of hose in them. I reccomend going resivior > pump > waterblock > radiator and then out the radiator into the bin.

    Fill the bin up with distilled water and any additives you want.

    Whilst it's not as sexy as the EXOS it's got far more performance and flexibility.

    Anything that holds water works, although I reccomend you DO NOT use your bathtub for it. We like to promote hygene :p
