Hell for $50 for a BIX 3 is awesome, most duals are around that price for jsut the rad.

I need to look around and maybe at some other sits for people selling any watercooling stuff.

BTW....where did you find it

hehe, yeah I know...and that was with shipping

Anandtech forums is the way to go. I've bought almost everything in my system from there all used, in great shape and dirt cheap. They use heatware.com as their trader rating system and it works. I even found someone nice enough to let me do a payment plan on an AMD X2 4400+.

One word of advice, don't get freaked out if someone ask you to ship first. It's not that uncommon on that site for someone to ask...you don't have to do it, but don't freak out and think someone is trying to scam you. Also don't ship first to someone who doesn't have a fair amount of heat there are trolls out there, but all the good people watch out for one another.

I'm signing up now to check anything out

My cordless drill wasn't charged, so I couldn't install my fillport last night. I ended up modding the fan install holes to use regular fan screws. If one upgrade would go as planned that would be great. I'm seriously you guys...no more major upgrades.

One other thing to note. I ordered some of that cool lab liquid metal thermal "grease". A few people here have tried it and said it did really well. I'm using Shin Etsu thermal paste right now. I'll be sure to post the different temps with just the BIX III and then add the liquid metal temps when it gets here.

So I've got it installed and everything is dandy. I did almost burn my computer down when the plastic mesh on my molex connector hit the fan connector on my fan controller and I had a really tough time with bleeding the enitre system...I have a few little bubbles here and there but they're getting worked out.

So now I'm going to kick my CPU up to the 2.64Ghz and see what I get.
