Default Need help (Ideas please)

I am currently looking into getting WC soon for my computer, I am using a Thermaltake Armor case

The problem is I don't know how to set up a loop etc for this case, I can mount outside and inside

If anyone could make me a simple diagram of where I could put:

Pump
Res.
Radiator
Cpu block
I am only doing a CPU loop at the moment, also I can mount the rad, ontop, The res can be also ontop or In a 5.25 bay, thank you in advanced

PS: http://www.thermaltake.com/product/C.../va8000bws.asp incase you want to see how the other fans are...

I'd just use a bay res, put the pump in the bottom of your case and hang the rad on the back with a rad-box...


Block...Custom a Stinger....Stinger WB


Commercial a fuzion with a back-plate... FuZion CPU Block...Dtek FuZion Intel 775 Pro-Mount set.....You might want a nozzle kit for it to since your only running a CPU, they are kind of restrictive...Fuzion Nozzle Kit.....


Pump...D-5

Rad... GTX240 .I'd go with fans at least this size..86cfm Pana...These are what I use on my 480GTX..108cfm Sunon..115cfm Panaflo

Even with lower cfm fans its outperforming the PA...360 GTX Beats PA.3 Using 47cfm YL Fans

I'd use some shrouds on it to...Part 1- Temp's with and with-out shrouds

...How To: Make any Sized shroud in 2 minutes

Rad-box...Radbox

Res....DD 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir

Tubing....I like this its a little more compact then full 1/2" and will flow about as well...It fits the barbs tighter to...7/16x5/8"

Full 1/2x3/4"....1/2x3/4"

Stuff to read and I'll leave you my set-up and cleaning PDF also...
