Default Last thoughts before I go watercooled...

I am just about ready to go buy the stuff needed for the conversion to water-cooled computer. I have attached a pic of inside my case now indicating the 3 main areas which are empty. As you can see, I am quite proud of my cable organization skills...

Here are the components I am on the verge of buying... not included are the hoses and connectors etc.

Pump
Reservoir
Radiator
CPU Block
GPU Block (times 2)

Sorry its in German, the traslator didn't go through the link... which is another point... I now live in Germany and that must be considered into where I buy from.

I believe I will use this cycle... Pump -> CPU -> GPU1 -> GPU2 -> Reservoir -> Radiator -> Pump (the chipset fan will be replaced with a Zalman heat sink)

I was going to mount the Reservoir into space II, the Pump into space III, and then bolt the Radiator to the exterior on one of the side panels.

These components will run about 200 Euros. I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions noting :
-The price should not go up
-The pic is a bit deceiving... there is plenty of space for all - including the larger GPU blocks that take away adjoining PCI slots.
- As mentioned I'm now in Germany.

Feel free to say it's all garbage. I have tried to read all I can here on this site, but there is much to learn and still more opinions on the subject and this is a first time. I'd rather hear it's all garbage and get it right, then not.

Thanx again all!

you should get a swiftech apogee cpu block and maybe some danger den maze 4 blocks for your gpus. Also, you'll want ramsinks to cool the video RAM

Here's a link to the Maze4's, I'm almost sure DD ships internationaly, but I'd check just to be safe.
http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produc...&cat=67&page=1
It's an SLI kit for 6800/7800, 2 waterblocks and 16 OCZ ramsinks. Make sure you grab the 6800 mounting hardware.

Good luck!

I just looked at shipping rates, 10 pounds to Germany $60.00!

Get this though: I am shipping my kit to Iraq $10.00! no charge after Uncle Sam picks it up in NY.
