Here we go, after much research I have come up with a new list of parts for my w/c build...
Pump ------> Laing D5-Pump With EK-D5 X-TOP Rev. 2
Radiator ---> Swiftech MCR220 (maybe a MCR120 too)
Reservoir --> EK-Multioption RES X2 250 Advanced
CPU -------> EK-Supreme HF Nickel/Plexi
NB/SB -----> Black Freezer AIX48NSF x48 chipset block
Tubing ----> PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 3/8"ID 1/2" OD (Blue)
Fittings ---> Bitspower compression fittings 3/8"ID 1/2"OD (Black)
Fluid ------> Distilled Water with Silver killcoil and a biocide (unsure on biocide)
This will be cooling the same setup I originally went with and am currently using...
MoBo ------> ASUS Rampage Formula X48
Processor --> Intel E8500 C2D
Memory ----> Kingston HyperX 2x2GB
Video ------> EVGA 9800 GTX
Power -----> Corsair Professional HX850W (Later addition)
HDD -------> Western Digital WD1001FALS Caviar Black 1TB
Case ------> Antec P180 Black
Fans ------> Scythe S-FLEX 120MM
In preparation I have already had my first go at lapping the E8500, looks pretty good but may give it another little polish with some 4000 grit.
