i am building my own case and want to build my own water cooling system, but i dont know too much about it. what are the best parts available for water cooling and still look really nice (my case is gonna be translucent. thanks

IMO the best waterblock is the white river, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4964
Then i'd say an eheim 1048 or 1250, a big heatercore and some tygon tubing

Best pump for uber preformance would be a Iwaki MD-20 RLZT but they are quite expensive at around $140.00. eXtreme high pressure though (23" of head) 3-4X most pumps used.

The White Water is the best of all performance blocks now on the market. But if building a all plexi case you may wish to go with the TC-4 as the White Water is all copper and the TC-4 has a plexi top and is also a pretty high performer.


edit: Iwaki pumps are however VERY large and many cases can't take them inside. I"m looking at a PC76 for next build for this reason:)

Some test where made with the white water andthe temp difference is minimal between the eheim 1048 and 1250, only like a 0.3°C

i bought an Iwaki MD-30rzt,
the POS is damned loud, i'm getting rid of it :(
i wasted $60 on it (used) because i, too, thought it was "da shytte".
wanna buy it? :stick:
