Need help getting started water cooling...

[#ball3r]

I plan on switching and need help with some parts. The money is not really an object but don't want to use any TEC's and would like to cool the cpu, NB, and Gpu. I live in Canada so i'm limited by what I can buy so I'll list the choices I'm considering....

CPU BLOCK-
DangerDen Maze 3
Swiftech MCW5000A
Silverprop Evolution
D-tek custom or spiral

GPU BLOCK-
DangerDen for Radeon
Swiftech MCW50

CHIPSET BLOCK-
DangerDen Z-chipset
D-Tek fsb NB cooler

Radiator-
D-Tek Pro Core combo
BIX rev 2

PUMP-
Ehiem 1250
Hydor L30

RES-
Bayres
Criticool water plant
DD clear

If possible I would like to keep the blocks similar, and would like to see if I could get one to fit in my turbo gamer (chenming) case. I might have a problem seeing as I'll be running 3 hd's and 1 floppy and i'll probably have to remove the bottom drive bay so I don't see how it's all going to fit. I have also considered getting a Lian-Li pc75 case for all this and using my current case for another system.

I would recommend waiting a couple weeks until D-Tek has the LRWW blocks in full production, then getting one of those. Other than that, I would go with the DD chipset block, the D-TEK Pro Core, and the Hydor L30. Not sure which I would choose out of the other ones.

going to get the lian-li pc75 case for a water cooler and was wondering how you would set the case fans for airflow? I plan on putting the radiator in either of these places....
1) cutting a 120mm blow hole on top
2) installing above the psu because my case comes with a plexiglass panel with a 120mm fan mount. Pic will be added.

I would like this to be very cool and quiet as well. I would prefur to mount the rad and twin 120mm fans using option #2, but could still get a blowhole of any size just to get rid of air. My current turbo gamer case has 6 30db 80mm case fans (including psu fans), 1 TT smartfan 2 running between 4200rpm and full speed, and fans on the NB and video card. I would like my new case to be quieter then this but still perform at least as good. My 1700+ is running 2475 1.8v at about 42-45 full load now and would like to get the oc higher while bringing temps down or staying even.

So with that being said where should I use fans and what should they be doing (intake/exhaust)? I will use 2 80mm fans in the front intaking on my raid erray for sure, and the 2 80mm's in the rear will be filled. Damn it doesn't look like it will be quieter unless the bigger size will help at all. I can also get 2 fans in the window and 1 up top, but was thinking 1 92mm quiet fan would be good in the window.

here's the link to the pics of the case mod i'm getting....http://www.icrontic.com/?action=article&id=391&page=10. Also is a complete review of the case itself, but I'm getting it in Black . Sorry my post is so confusing I just have a lot on my mind.

I like Black Ice Radiators. Is the D-Tek Pro Core better?
