    I'm pricing out a watercooling set up for my P4 3.0E, here is what I have so far:

    Ice Xtreme 120MM Radiator $68.99
    Hydor L30 320GPH Inline/Submersible pump $46.99
    Bay-Res Revision 2 Reservior $24.99

    I'm going with 1/2" silicon tubing all around. What I need now is to find out what are the best waterblocks (with 1/2" fittings) for my P4 3.0E and my ATI Radeon 9700 Pro.

    Please, all comments and suggestions are welcome, both about the waterblocks and the other items I have selected. This will be my first time watercooling, so I have no experience with these parts and if they are any good.

    Thanks a lot.

    YES. dont get a black ice radiator. get a good heatercore off of www.dangerden.com or www.dtekcustoms.com. much better and CHEAPER

    Ok, I personally wouldn't go with silicone tubing. It is slightly water permeable, so you have to top it up every now and again. When I say slightly, I mean very slightly, no danger to components.

    The TDX is a good block.

    Then I would probably get a danger den maze 4 gpu block.

    Get a good rad, either a heater core, or a BIX II (expensive, but good if you want the system to look nice.

    Get any of the tubing from danger den, though I'm not sure about the UV stuff.

    And the, I'd get a DD Laing D4 12V pump, again from danger den.

    That way, you're getting all of your stuff from one shop.

    Awesome. Thanks for the replies.

    Off the top of your head, do you know if DangerDen accepts paypal?

    Ah, I'll find out soon enough. Heading there now.
