    Question 1 - Can anyone recommend any DDR2 (1024 or higher), I am not going to overclock (too much :D ) so extremely overlockable memory need not apply

    Question 2 - With a Cuplex XT, Ramplex and GPU Block, will one 1046 Ehiem pump be enough?

    Good job answering none of the OP's questions... Maybe some people just prefer AMD.

    If you aren't going to overclock, any RAM rated at the desired speed will do. Kingston, Corsair, Geil,... all have good value series...

    About the pump, I have no idea about that...

    ideas

    If you go for the Innovatek 12V 1046 you will have more than enough power.
    I needed to add that they overclock the pump to over 130 gph.
    And I myself need answers on RAM help for mild to no overclock. but at least 2Gb so
    http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=117164 if you want to help me out as well.

    BTW I prefer AMD more power to you. I am waiting for the X2 5000+ AM2 to drop to $280 still at $750 online. Well good luck.

    only if the power is in the heat form, not in the performance form, bah.... go for it!!!! if you like AMD buy an AMD.

    a X2 5000+ AM2 at $280 is a good price :D

    Point Of View 7950 GX2 512bit 1024MB PCI-E + AquagraFX 7950GX2 Block?
    nice :D, did not know that they made blocks for the 7950 GX2. i hope it rips the Aluminium of your Lian Li :p

    One Aqua-Stream will be more then enough mine goes through the following:

    1 x Cuplex Pro
    1 x Twinplex
    1 x 5" aquabox
    1 x 3" aquabox
    1 x Asus VRM cooler
    1 x EVO 240
    2 x AquagraFX Blocks
    1 x Dual Aquadrive
    1 x Flowmeter

    And doesn't even break a sweat

    One suggestion would be to switch the EVO 240 the the XT 240 rad as the XT has better proformance :D

    When will the UK Prices for the AM2 fall as I can see that AMD X2's have already fallen in price? On ebuyer - An AM2 3800+ X2 is £199 inc VAT but a 4600+ X2 is £159?

    The Memory I hae chosen -
    A-data Vistesta DDR2-800 Extreme Edition
    £155.10 inc VAT (2x1GB)

    www.memory-configurator.co.uk

    CustomPC Magazine rated them quite high and are a good price for 2GB

    @hydro_electric_655 - Hope it helps!!!

    @Nitrix - Thanks

    I will be gathering the parts when I start at Uni and I should have everything by Christmas (Hopefully earlier)

    Over and Out

    Due to the increasing costs of going to university :blush: :waah: , I decided to go with a Core 2 duo shuttle as this saves on space as well. So its going to be:

    Core 2 duo 6300
    Shuttle mobo
    Radeon XT1900XT
    1gb Muskin Memory (From a friend)
    Samsung Spinpoint 300gb

    and no watercooling but I hope to do so next year :)

    I start getting parts when I start Uni!!!
