Ok so I'm making the CPU block homemade. My first model is gonna be a 1mm piece of copper with 6mm (1/4") pipe bent with a pipe bender into kinda a zig-zag pattern.
I have two options for the external part.
1) Koolance Exos 2.5 $374.99
or
2)Build my own
Heres the parts I have come up with for building my own:
Koolance ENC-1020BK Enclosure/Riser, Black $74.99
Koolance 3-fan shroud $34.99
Danger Den Round (Cylindrical) Reservoir $25.00
X-Flow Black Ice Xtreme II Radiator $53.95
Pump: Make suggestions (no overly large ones though)
Aerocool Xtreme Turbine 2000 Black 120mm LED Fan $16.99 x2
120mm Blade Fan Grill $4.99 x2
Total
$232.89 (without pump, $332.89 figuring a pump maximum $100)
Any thoughts?
P.S. Just state which you think is a better route to take, don't start flaming against Koolance. I've heard it and am like 80% sure I'm going to build my own, just decided to throw the exos into this post anyways.
