So I figured after many years of building PC's and case modding it was time to step up and spend more money on my rig than I spent on my first car (that's not saying much). As a noob I've been searching and searching for several weeks for information on water cooling and thought, for me, the best thing would be to start w/kit and build up from there. Here's the rig that I'm starting with:
It's an i7 on a EVGA SLI board w/couple of EVGA ref GTX 460's and one of my old GTX 275's as a physics card.
I'm getting the EK-KIT H3O - Supreme HF 360 kit (although I could have clearly bought custom for about the same price) and a Koolance 460 water block to start. I'll just do one card for now and in a month or two punch out another $100 for the other block.
I've been watching videos and reading up on things so when my stuff gets here next week I'll start posting in earnest. I suspect I'll soon have fittings and tubing supplies all over the place like I have cases and other PC parts now...wish me luck!

No need to grind (I updated). The 840 is a classic case with excellent air-cooling and it's massive. Although the case isn't heavy...with all the equipment in it's a beast. I took it to Pax East last year and will never do that again. Although I usually mod fan holes and the like, there was no need on this case. I did add some MNPCTECH case feet but after the water cooler equipment is in I'll probably go with wheels. My entire solution will be inside the case. Looking at flow meters and other accessories now. So much stuff...so much money...
