Default For those considering a WC kit...

This is my first WC build, I was rather reluctant to do a custom setup, and I was going to simply be content with a kit. With the persuation of some member (through logic) I decided that I wanted to try a custom setup.

With the help of several members, specifically fstfrddy and Snerp, but not limited to them by any means, I was able to easily build a custom setup. It has been a long time since I have had this much fun while designing and building my system. I decided to use the '77 dual heatercore, a custom Rubbermade Resivoir, Swiftech 655 pump, and a Apogee block (I am not to the custom block yet ). I also spent a whole weekend building a wooden box to house all these parts (I felt it easier, safer, and more appealing to keep as many parts outside of the computer).

If you are concerned about the difficultly/problems of building a custom setup, trust me, there are some great guys on this forum that will help you out. It is really not as hard as you think. Plus you learn a lot!

Furthermore my system was cheaper, performs better, and I know that I made it, not some 3rd world factory worker (except for the pump, block ). May this be assurance to all those who are weighing their options: CUSTOM is the way to go!
