budget watercooling setup

[sickness]

In a couple weeks i'll be buying my first watercooling setup. I'm on a $200 budget (nothing more than $200 cause of shipping). Overall, this is just to cool my cpu and maybe my video card too if my budget will allow it. I would like to buy all my components from 1 website (cooltechnica, danderden, vouyermods, etc.) just so I won't have to go CRAZY on shipping. The setup will be going into my small (but kickass) Aspire X-Dreamer. I have to haul my computer around alot so I want to keep everything as internal as possible. I'm also going to be using a T-Line. I have an idea of what parts to get but I want to hear some suggestions from you guys first.

I strongly appreciate your help.

I am building my first water-cooler here soon... as the hardware in my profile is my first build also, like yours... and we both have a mobile cpu, both have a lanparty ultra-b, both had/have z-640's, I now own X-530's because of a bad RMA proccess, we wont get involved... lol... Other than that were different, hardware wise...

I aint no pro on watercooling, but I have been hangin in these forums for a long time... And I read tons of posts, for the past month I have been in the Water-Chiller and Phase-Change section... But I decided to shut down my chiller project and just build an internal water-cooler... So heres what I gather so far...

Dangerden makes great blocks... But the white-water from D-Tek Customs is nice too... Right now, I am debating between the DangerDen TDX or a D-Tek Customs WW... Donno yet... Waitin for some replies in my thread...

www.aquastealth.com makes some nice stuff... Pump wise, and wierd named, wierd looking blocks... lol... the Sleech waterblock, WTF... I donno... lol...

But I am ordering my Pump, Tubing, and possibly my radiators from them... Cheap shipping ( At least for where I live )... so look around... Im sure you will find what you need... Im kinda worn out, I have been on the computer since 1:30AM this morning, I really havnt moved outta my chair except to get my new X-530 Logitech speakers that came today... damnit I will shut up now... Good luck with it, Hope I helped... in some small way... peace

I actually have a list of parts that i'm looking to get but won't post what they are until I get more responses. But I will say this....the Swiftech MCW6002-A looks like an incredible cpu block for a low price. Not to mention you just need to buy another bracket when changing cpu sockets.

Okay... Good luck with whatever you choose... :-D

Since no one is responding, here is a list of what I might buy:

- DTek-Pro120 w/ PRO-120 Shroud Kit = $47.99
- Swiftech MCW6002-A Water Block = $40.00
- Hydor L35 = $53.95
- Danger Den Fillport = $11.95
- 10ft ClearFlex 60 Tubing = $11.20
- Polypropylene "T" = $1.75
- 12 Stainless Steel Hose Clamps 5/16" - 7/8" = $8.28
- Zerex Racing Super Coolant = $4.50

Total (excluding shipping) = $180

This is great cause now I have $20 left! Maybe I should use my left over money to buy a better pump?

For a budget;

go to
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com
good prices on Swifty jazz

Swifty 6000-a
Swifty MCW-50
Black Ice Pro
Panaflo M1A

from whereever your seeing the $50 L35 (FrozenCPU is $65 wtf?)
Hydor L35
Dangerden fillport

then from your local hardware store (trust me on this)
10' 3/8" ID tubing (I want to say around $5ish to 10' at the HW store to $13 online)
t-fitting (a dollar or less here)
as many worm drive clamps (they're the best) as you need, I think 6 but not sure

if u want even more budget: u scrap the fillport & scrap the steel hoseclamps and just use cable-ties (which is what i use). and maybe look for a heatercore at a junkyard

[VeryProudOfYa]

Just get the following:
Swiftech MCW6002-A Water Block
2-302 Bonneville Heatercore... Buy a shroud from Weapon... This is what I was told... And by the looks of that thing, it looks like it cools nicely... huh?
www.aquastealth.com makes nice pumps/reservoirs... Tubing is cheap there... But I have been inormed that tubing is cheaper at lowes or walmart, ACE, someplace like that... and its true... Its only 50 Cents a foot at my Lowes, and no shipping... lol...

These are just suggestions BTW... You dont have to listen :-D

Good luck with it all... peace

BTW, I had a nightmare about your freackin avatar the other night... lol... that thing came runnin at me and started biting me... Scary ish... if you ask me... Ill shut up now, lol...

No one has said anything about the list of parts I might buy.

Would this be a good setup?

[echow87]

yes, very good setup....from the review i read for pumps, the hydor L35 outperforms the eheim 1250...and the eheim 1250 itself is a great pump.

I am also going to be watercooling a 2600+ as well
