~ Do you think that 15feet of tubing will be ok?
~ How many stainless steel clamps do you think I'll need?
~ What chipset waterblock will go good with my Abit IS7 board?
~ How should my setup be (for example: Pump> CPU Waterblock, and so on>>>>)

i got the 4oz zerex, 10' of tubing, but im going res and not t line.

if your looking for the case like mine its not the one you posted. :) i only bring this up cause i told someone about it and forgot who

if your looking for the one my size then ill post link :)

looks fine to me. i understand the caution with spending so much cash.

about bleeding, read Maxxx's guide. he updated it with bleed info.

15ft of tubing is a lot. my suggestion is to try it out with cheap ass home depot tubing first. then once you get the loop situated the way you want it, cut the tygon and install the loop with that. the home depot stuff is only $5 for 20' so you can't lose there. this way you only need to cut the tygon once and you'll really only need like 10' at the most.

i don't recommend stainless steel clamps as zip ties are WAY cheaper and offer the same protection. if you really want some clamps i'll send you a box full as i don't need them. pm with address.

i have a DD "Z" chipset block that i got on this forum from another user and i'm really happy with it. just try to get one with an internal design that isn't too restrictive. if you can find a Z block, get it.

the setup doesn't matter much as long as you follow the rules. the T goes in front of the inlet of the pump, the blocks need to be grouped in the line with the rad either before or after the blocks.

Alright, well I'm oing to get the tubing from home depot, and I will read your guide. I'll edit if no one else posts if I find the Z block, and I found claps for 5 cents a peice at home depot that will work
