Ok I have been thinking of going Wata soon....couple things is that I think I am gonna to need a bigger case. Second, I LAN party a bit, like more than 6 times a year, so its gotta be self contained. What to all the WCing gurus out there say. Money is not a problem, but would be great if I could save a couple of dinaro.

I really like this combo......Gigabyte Mercury Pro

I suggest you get it with ac, you can mount it in the 5.25' bays. The heatercore will handle your setup just fine. Cpu and gpu both oced.

I'm guessing full tower with W/C installed inside. well since you LAN the weight maybe an issue. so u need something space saving and light but water does weigh down a rig. what will be cooled and how many loops are you planing?

depending on ur case a single 360 or 480 if u can fit he bad boy will handle all the heat for ur setup.

480:http://www.dangerden.com/store/produ...1&cat=5&page=1

pa120x3 or basically 360 rad:http://www.dangerden.com/store/produ...&cat=15&page=1

there's really no need to w/c the sb/nb that's too much in one loop or basically u'll have too much tubing in ur case.

the cpu/gpu and even the s/b-n/b wll def be handled by the GT480. u need 4 good fans around 87cfm a piece. that should get rid of all that heat.

I second that, nb and sb are pointless, it's restrictive and adds more heat to the loop, gpu is also kinda pointless as you can get passive coolers that cool well enough. So cpu and gpu loop then?

Ok so I am just looking at a CPU and GPU setup. Good the cheaper the better. So am I still gonna need a bigger case? Do I hang the rad outside my case?

Also about the rad, how big do I need to get it? I really dont want 3x120mm fans hanging off my back of my case.
