    p4 2.6 (im lead to belive this would be th ebest option for overclocking? any idea what ya recon i could get outta it??)
    abit IC7 max3
    gig of twinx corsair (not sure which type? would 3700 be the best option?)
    and im thinking maybe sata baracudas in raid as i've heard there quiet? anyone know?
    graphics im going for a saphire 9800 265
    a dvdr and a cdrw
    and psu, im torn between the zalman ultra quiet psu's and the globewin quite ones, any ideas?


    (this is what i've been adviced for the system?)

    cooling:
    Maze4 478 1/2" fittings.
    Hydor L30 Pump.
    Black Ice Xtreme.
    Papst 120mm fan,
    Typhoon Reservoir.
    7 feet of ClearFex Tubing.
    10 1/2" Hose clamps.
    PCI Pump Relay.
    4oz Bottle Water Wetter.
    Arctic Silver thermal paste.
    (this is all going in a coolermaster 201b bxt, would i still need the 4 case fans in this as well as the water
    coolling?)


    anyone have any ideas about the overall volume of this spec ? also im gathering the pump may make a bit of noise,
    is the idea there to hide it away from the computer partly sound profed? hmm

    pumps are ussually very very quiet, and the least loud part of the system...check the psu (which you have done) for sound emmission, but also the fan on the northbridge of your mobo (if it has one) and the fan on the gfx card can be nice and loud, in a whiny kind of way!!
