I will admit that I've never WC'ed before. Therefore, try to go light on me. I've seen the effects of WC'ing loops on peoples' rigs all over this forum, and for my college rig that I will build in late summer, I want to try it. I technically have no budget but don't go overboard with stuff, I want to still keep it under control; if it's necessary, I have the money...if it's not, please don't recommend it.
I've lurked on d-tek and dangerden, etc. to find out prices, what blocks are decent, etc. but you guys will be able to fill me in better. From what I gather, 1/2"ID is what most of you use, right? Where do I find fittings and barbs for this? They are all measured in OD...should my tubing be 1/2"ID and 3/8"OD?
I plan on having blocks for the CPU, NB, SB, and a single GPU. How many/how large of a rad(s) should I get? 2 3x120s? How does one mod a case so that these rads fit to the outside? I was planning on buying the Antec 1200, is that a bad idea in terms of compatibility? How much power should the pump have? What style of res do you guys like, the bay or the cylinder, or even the bleed line?
Finally, how much tubing should I buy?
Thanks for all the questions guys, I REALLY appreciate it.
