Watercooling supply/deals
Hey, I am about to embark on the adventure that is watercooling...
 I just wanted to know where a good place to get components would be. I see FrozenCpu has a lot of options, but for so much moolah (newegg just has crap). I was looking into D-tek and swiftech cpu blocks and would like one or the other. (the swiftech apogee gtx looks sweet and is actually in stock at FCPU!) Anyway, I would like advice and money saving ideas! Thanks in advance!

Money-saving ideas you ask? Well there's quite a few actually.
If you want to save a fair chunk of coin, get a heater core rad. here or at an auto parts store. I just went to the store and said "It needs to be yea big, and have 1/2 in fittings, got anything?" You could also go with cheaper tubing, like masterclear, or if you're really cheap, get some home depot 1/2 inch tubing  .

Do the automotive heater cores use copper or aluminium? If so isn't that problem with the blocks.

) I only paid for water blocks, and the heater core... It's nice having a dad who's an appliance tech .Anyways, an aquarium pump would work nicely, so long as you don't have really restrictive water blocks. Quote:

the bonneville heater core is copper tubes, which is all the water passes through, and all that matters, and the old chevelles too... places for parts:
http://www.petrastechshop.com/ some penny pinchers 1) 7/16" masterkleer tubing 2) zip ties in place of clamps 3) T-Line in place of a reservoir 4) used parts, never hurt...at least from a good source, check the for sale section here

nice setup =) , but I decided to cave and do things the right way. I am buying stuff from FrozenCPU that I know will work together. I will be able to use this liquid cooling system on any number of systems for a long time so I figured the price was ok.
