Hi guys- I'm gonna be getting one of Gary's chillers soon :D and I am trying to put together a shopping list of stuff I will need to get it hooked up safely and correctly, and of course chilling like a mo-fo.
here's what I've got so far, there are "???"s in a lot of places, hopefully some of the experts here can fill in some blanks for me. I have provided links to pages where this stuff can be purchased, hope it helps. any problems with any of this stuff please post... much appreciated.
now on to it......
cpu block
-------------
I know that an aluminum topped, 2 barb design seems best, so:
dd maze4 or dtek tc4 --which would be better?
chipset block
----------------------
dtek 'FSB' northy cooler with as-yet-unreleased 4-hole p4 mount
pump
---------
Taco cartridge pump???? they are huge!??
any with 1/2"ID that will pump through 40' of tubing???
Grundfos? help? would like something small enough to fit inside chassis of chiller.
tubing
-------------
