Is this going ins ome sort of small case? Whats with the 1U apogee?

Scarlet Infidel makes a good point. What kind of case are you going to be fitting it all in? Once we know that we're in a lot better position to help you!

I really wouldnt bother with FluidXP, just used distilled water with zerex added if youre using mixed metals in your loop (which you should REALLY try and avoid). I guess the pump you've selected is ok for the price but its not a top performer. If you added a GPU block to your loop it would begin to struggle. Same goes with a single 120mm radiator, I'll be fine for CPU only but a CPU+GPU loop would require a double 120mm. On the waterblock front have a look at the Aqua Extreme MP-1 CPU if youre on a budget or an Aqua Extreme MP-05/Swiftech Storm if you have more cash.

I can say that if I was making a new W/C setup, I'd use NONE of those components.

Get a 120.2 rad at least, use distilled water with zerex, use a real pump like DDC, get a real block like a Storm or MP-01, don't use a rad, especially a POS plexi one like that... eh...

I'm gonna use Fluid XP+ myself, not from that store though, they are really expensive with it, and surely enough it is not cheap for what you get, but instead it might save you ten times that some unlucky day when you wake up with the water dripping from your case. (But no, there is no extreme performance from it, it's pretty much same as water)

And that is my reason for buying it, I'm new to this and rather stay on the safe side if something would happen, it minimizes maintenance too and prevents possible corrision, and in the long run is a pretty small cost in contrast if you intend to keep the system for a long time.

Read this if you think FluidXP is going to save anything compared to deionized water: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=102474

FluidXP=Waste of Cash. Use Distilled water

1U Apogee=poor choice unless cooling an HTPC/Rack Case. Use a normal apogee, or a storm.

The DD Round res is OK, but I'd go with the Swiftech Micro-Res (cheaper too).

Never used the DD UV reactive tubing. I'd stick with MasterKlear, and save some more $$$.

The 120.1 Rad is OK, especially if you are cooling JUST the CPU. If you are wanting to cool more than that, move on up to a 120.2.

Finally, that pump is too new for me to pass judgement on. I'd go instead with the DDC.

[Delirious]

Thermochill 120.2 or Black Ice Pro Dual or Triple
DDC pump
MasterKleer 7/16 tubing from mcmastercarr
A t-line for cost saving, or a res for looks.
Storm/Apogee/Mp-1 Are all good Cpu blocks

That block u have picked out if for a small form factor case or a 1U rack mount server.

And for the love of pete shop around cause you can get stuff for cheaper just by doing a little looking.

Ive been water cooling for almost 6 years and never had a leak.

As long as you set it up right, use the right parts and test prior to installing it will never leak.

i am only planning to liquid cool the cpu only and using a thermaltake armor or lian-li full tower case.
