what stores are out there for water cooling parts so I can do some price comparisons?
What's your opinion which one usually has the best prices

Depends on location answer if you want to pay international shipping. Most of the time its not best price its who has stock otherwise you end up paying insane amounts of shipping and duties on a bunch of small packages

FCPU and PPCs have ginormous selections but the smaller shops also have stuff like Crazy PC and Xoxide. Newegg and Microcenter also have some items. Petra's Tech Shop still exists too but no longer owned by him.

There's also Koolertek and UltimatePCCooling--I don't know anything about either of them but figured I should throw it out there for the sake of completeness. Heatsink Factory and Cooler Guys may also still have some water cooling gear (again, tossing them out there for completeness only)... and, of course, there's Danger Den (granted, they've been out of the cutting edge performance CPU block running for a while now).
Who am I forgetting... hmm...

you would thinks they would stop releasing a crapload of random accessories and release a new cpu block

I've never understood why Fry's doesn't. Just not-so-great kits. I mean for a place with damn near everything else...

All I want is a water-pump with res (a small res is fine) with 1.5L to 4L per minute that is easily mountable, as cheap as possible. Hmm Would also be interesting if I could adjust it with a Zalman fan controller or on it's own. but very cheap. Because I am adding a heater-core to the freezone I know higher idle temps, lower load temps with a rad added, but this way I can adjust it to be more efficient electrically and noise wise. people on the coolit forums have done this mod and it works. It's just this pump is driving me nuts.
Also it being adjustable I could test a theory of mine, that if I slow down the pump while the rad is added I may get better temps with less energy used, because of the higher Delta T of the water leaving the cpu block (to enviorment) and going into the rad. we'll see what actually works best experiments will take some time.

Well, as WrigleyVillain mentioned, it was mine from the time it was launched in 2005 until the very end of December, 2009... Currently, PTS is owned and operated by Sidewinder.

for the more accessible parts, you should check up your local meta-search engine (we got shopbot.ca and pricebat.ca in canada, for example) and you'll be surprised at how many random shops actually carry these items and are willing to sell cheap.
