Internal Watercooling in P182 - Advice Appreciated

[inCore]

UPDATE: WORKLOG CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 2.




Hello everybody,

I'm planning my first watercooling build and it's gonna be done right - the Swiss way. I will only be cooling my CPU, GPU is being cooled by an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1. The case (Antec P182) will be modded so that everything is internal.

First off, here's my list of things that are going to be ordered, unless somebody has objections:

• Pump: Laing DDC-Pump 12V DDC-1T http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...2V-DDC-1T.html
  
  A good pump, supposed to be silent too.
  
  
• Radiator: Thermochill PA120.2 Dual Radiator G3/8 http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...ator-G3-8.html
  
  Fit for the future, no need for anything bigger for a good while.
  
  
• Tubing: Tygon R-3400 3/8" http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...m-schwarz.html
  
  I'm using 3/8" tubing on purpose, it's how we Europeans do it. No need for American muscle V8, if a Flat-six can do it just as well
  
  
• Block: DangerDen TDX http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...ockel-775.html
  
  I could get a FuZion too but seeing as I will feel like an idiot for buying an expensive block and I decide to buy a Nehalem, I'm budgeting this one.

The radiator will be cooled by 2 x Aerocool Turbine 2000s, really silent fans with LEDs - how pretty it's gonna be

The list of my hardware:

CPU: E8400 @ 3.85 GHz with 1.40 V - Yes, I know, crappy CPU.
GPU: EVGA 8800 GTS 512 G92 - Getting RMAd but it's gonna be back in action
RAM: Mushkin XP2-8500 2 x 2 GB
MB: Gigabyte P35-DS3R Rev 2.1
Case: Antec P182
Soundcard: X-Fi Fatal1ty XtremeGamer

As mentioned, everything will be internal. This means that I have to do some modding to the case and I'm planning to make 2 windows - one in the motherboard area and one by the radiator at the bottom. I've planned it out using two cereal packets that I've glued together and cut holes in. I was out of other materials at the time, don't worry, the final result will look professional (hopefully) and all the cables will be moved away.





The pump will be put in the 5.25" bay area and the radiator at the bottom.

Any suggestions? I'm eager to get this started but I will not rush things - I firmly believe that he who buys cheaply buys more than once.

Thanks, looking forward to the replies.
