    Hey sup bro!

    LTNS!!

    right now the current fad is bay res.

    I kid you not.. DD Monsoon, Koolance series....
    You really need to check out a bay res.

    Other then that, your parts look solid... except we like Primochill LRT tubing more then tygon.

    +1 for Primochill. I just started working with it and it is outstanding.

    I'd probably go for the xspc rx360 kit, about $100 cheaper and 98% of the performance

    If your budget allows, get an EK top for the pump.

    All of the above^. And why do you only have 2 fittings? Even without the EK top, you'll still need 6 fittings at least.

    it dosnt look vary good but i have not used one or heard anything

    why not get the EK bay rez and then get the ddc3.2, u get a better pump and nice rez that it hooks into so u dont need to mount it some ware, and even if u dont go for that the 3.2 with top is a much better pump and unless u abuse it, its just as reliable.

    New mcp-35x is sweet think 355 with delerin top and pwm control out of the box.

    Since your buying new it's worth it.

    The setup looks good but I don't see why you wouldn't just go with the rasa kit and save yourself some money. Although I am not 100% sure that pump will be able to handle 2 gpu waterblocks if you plan on watercooling them. Even still that rasa with a new pump is still cheaper then that.

    A blast from the past, good to see you (well you know what I mean) back.

    And yes, everything is better when "wet".

    the 655 is a rather cheap ass pump, its not taken from an industrial use and u get the same performance with the EK/dd cpx pro high watt one. the ddc3.2 with an ek top is also $10 less than a 655.

    I really liked my 655 style pump though. 2 years ago when I was knee deep in watercooling I had a ddc 3.2 pump I put in a customers waterkeg and that SOB was hotter then after 20minutes of testing.. My 655's NEVER got warm/hot and there quiet too!

    R3603 tubing will cloud up in no time. Spend the big bucks on the Tygon 2001 if you want clear tubing otherwise go w/ coloured tubing like Primoflex LRT.

    Yea your going to need 8 fittings total for that setup:
    pump(2) + block(2) + rad(2) + res(2) = 8

    Also are you sure that your going to need 8ft of tubing? Personally I always take what I think I need and double it, this avoids problems if you realize you did not get enough. Also this enables you to have some extra encase something goes wrong like you get a leak in your tube or you cut one the wrong length or decide to change where something is located.
