Dreaming about water cooling,
my case soon to be will be the HAF 932,
Can someone provide me with some info, and estimated prices to cool 2 GTX 285s, and a core i7? Also, would it be worth it to cool the chip set as well?
Just looking for some inside info from some veterans and maybe some estimated prices.

Also, I would like the rig to be semi mobile as I occasionally participate in LAN parties and need to travel.

Thanks in advance!

I dont think theres a big deal about water cooling the chipset. You might want to get a larger cooler like a zalman reserator XT. They will keep all 3 things nice and cold,

No. Zalman 'water' cooling is as bad as Thermaltake or Koolance or Corsair water cooling.

CPU: Swiftech's and Heatkillers are popular, will be no more than $100, make sure to get backplate for HK

GPU: Heatkiller again for fullbody blocks, alot of people use Swiftech MCW60 as it will fit on just about anyblock.

so all the blocks could run anywhere from $140 to $350, depends how deep ur pockets are

peruse PerformancePCs and Sidewinder
check out some other brand too like enzotech, bitspower, dtek.

my whole loop cost $300 but im only cooling the cpu. i would recommend everything from my setup except the rad.

You can't know if those GPU waterblocks will fit. We need to know more about his GPUs, most GTX 285s have non-reference PCBs, and there are many different blocks.

Other than that, your setup looks good.

For the 285's any gpu only block plus heat sinks for the vregs, ram etc should be good.
So the MCW60 from Swiftech, Fuzion GFX2 from D-Tek, and the gpu block from Enzotech should all be ok for him. At least I think all of those are compatible and give similar performance.
For the heat sinks, Swiftech makes little coppper heat sinks for vram, etc.
