    Don't forget that you will need 2 120mm fans for the radiator. Unless I'm just being stupid and didn't see them in the list.

    Right now I have a 6600gt which I have modified with a Zalman vf700cu. Since the new motherboard has a pci-e slot, and my 6600gt is agp, I will have to sell it. I am thinking of the x800xl, or maybe wait a bit and see what ATI will come up with. That or wait for the nvidia 7600 to come out.

    I tweaked my system once again, and managed to get a Danger Den d5, and still maintain the price. I have no reservoir, and no fillport though. Do you think I could do without a fillport? What can I stuff the end of the wire with so water doesn't leak out? maybe a battery? :D

    Yeah, you could just have a vertical tube mounted somewhere in your case with a cork or rubber bung in the top. Buy a fillport at a later date and mod it in maybe.

    A DD fillport is only what, 10 bucks?
    It works, it's secure, and seems like a minor investment for the safety and nice appearance it provides.

    In for a penny in for a pound....get the fillport.

    I am thinking of getting a xfx 7800 gt. Those things generate a LOT of heat. 70C :wallbash:
