Hello Everybody!
I'm IT student from Poland, fan of overclocking and modding PC:)
I'm new to this forum, and I would like to introduce myself by starting my own worklog, hope You'll enjoy it
This will be my first neat-looking watercooling setup, as 2 before were just hmm... not quite beautiful?
Also, this build will be done as cheap as possible, and my main goals are silence and efficiency.
I don't see sense in investing greater amount of money in computer case and cooling system instead of buying better parts,
so I'll try to make this project universal for future hardware updates -
that means I'll use universal blocks, and make mounting systems for stuff to come.
I must mention that many parts I used since beginning were made by myself from junk, scrap metal etc. to save the costs.
I'll try them look as good as possible with my limited workshop (which is very limited right now).
Some specs:
Future improvements:
PICS:
Before any work:


After first changes:





And new 30W fan motor:

You can see 400x400 fan from Tacens Sagitta II, but I decided to replace original motor with one from ventilation systems,
which has double sleeve bearing, and much more power.
I won't use that much - new motor has 2000rpm (...compared to original with 400 rpm/250cfm).
I will have to make some AC control system to that fan.
If have any, please ask questions, as there is too much to tell on my side and I don't want to spam messages that will bore You to death
Cheers from Poland!

Some specs:
- Case: Aerocool PGS-VS9 - because it matched radiator's dimensions, SECC, many holes for ventilation,
and because it was really cheap + black interior already done - Radiator: From VW Polo IV/Seat Ibiza/Skoda Fabia 430 X 413 X 23 mm (for alu part)
- Pump: Laing DDC1T
- CPU Block: Heatkiller 3.0 FC
- GPU: EK VGA Supreme HF
- NB: haven't decided yet
- Tubing: Masterkleer 13/10 White (with tiny metal tubes inside ends, to strengthen them for push-ins)
- Fittings: Push-In 1/4 - 12mm (from compressed air systems)
- Reservoir (if any): self made, from probably from polycarbonate
Future improvements:
- Windowed side panel
- Light system
- Silencing case

I'm polish too, but I live in the states. Very interesting (in a good way) build you have going on here, I hope the core of that rad is not made from aluminium.
