$100 loop...is it possible?

[Waterlogged]

Thanks for the response and the searching

If I do buy the stuff above this summer, I'm going to chuck that pump and go for this XSPC pump/ dual bay res combo as I have just...5.25 2 bays open waiting to be filled. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=26843

I jsut stuck the syscooling pump + tiny res thingy in because nothing else was cheap and looked formidable. I'd say the part above is well worth the $20 more and extra 150 lph (woot)

That pump/res combo = Fail!

You really want to give up a pump rated for 4M of lift for one that is only 1.8M? Higher flow rating is meaningless without the pressure to move it through the loop.

Do you really think that the Syscool pump specs are right?

I'd rather have a pump thats rated for 300 lph and 1M of lift for three years than a pump that will do 600 lph and 4M of lift for a few weeks.

My only other choice is a Swiftech MCP350 and the cheapest 5.25 bay res that I can find.

Honestly, this is the best choice yet.

As for the specs of the Syscool, but I'd guess they're pretty close.

if you don't care about looks and are willing to buy used, it's EASY to get a good loop for under $100. Hell, my first loop was under $50 total!!

Heatercore rad was $10, 120mm fans were $10, tubing was $5, Apogee waterblock was $15 and I got misc parts from lowes for ~$5.
