    Ok im looking to go water cooled and ive got a small list of some parts that im thinking of getting.

    1/Black ice Prime rad
    2/Emeim 1048 pump
    3/Swiftech Mcw462-u water block

    All above will be 3/8 im not sure about the hose yet,whats better pvc or Surgical grade tubing????

    I would like to water cool my gf3 but dont know what block to get,also im thinking of getting a res for the water,does this get rid of air in the system?
    All the bits will be inside the pooter maybe not the res ive seen this one from here

    My case is the yy [b0rg] servers case so size is no probs,ive seen a lot of good stuff from germany but its a lot of hassle to get it.

    Ta,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:)

    nice setup for a beginner....u could save some money if u wanted and go with a heatercore.......a resivor will bleed air if it is the highest point in the watercooling loop....the productin in ur link are made to be air traps (resivors that bleed air automaticly)...all u have to do is make sure the top of that tube is above ur radiator, pump, and block....good luck...any other questions just ask

    Yeh ive sorted most of it out..

    1/Rad,im going to cut out a 120mm hole at the top back right hand side where the 2 80mm fans are and mount the rad inside with a 120mm fan blowing out not sure what fan as of yet.[mite get 2 120mm one blowing and one sucking]

    2/ Going to mount the pump on the mo-bo side just infront of the 120mm intake fan.[or just above the fan itself on its side]

    3/Not found a gf3 cooler as of yet :(.[mite not do it]

    4/Ive been told that techheads are getting the maze 3 in soon,mite wait for that if its 3/8 fitting.

    5/The reservoir will be at the back of the case near the rad not sure what side yet ill need to get the rad first,i do know that the top of the res has to be higher than the rad to bleed air out.

    Omgg that hose is over £3.00 a foot...

    thinks thats it,is it ok??

    Looks well planned out..good luck! I moved my PS to the top of the case and have my pump under it. The "hole" where the PS used to be is where all the tubes come in-out. The rad i mounted outside under the PS with a 120mm blowing out. I think if i did it again i would put the res on the motherboard side, up front. But theres so many possibilities with the case..

    Did you already get the cooling-solutions res?
    Or is this a selfmade one?
