    Re: Liquid Cooling

    Take it from Darth and steer clear of the dolly-do-it-all water kits as you can get better temps with a good air setup. For all your downunder WC supplies try here http://www.pccasegear.com/category45_1.htm they're the Danger Den of Aussie. They carry the best water blocks on the planet which are designed by the Australian engineer Stew Forster (AKA Cathar).

    DIY custom water cooling can be done for less than $210 with quality parts and render temps as low as 22ºc idle/34ºc load with the loop set up properly. Just remember in the WC world big bucks don't mean big flow. The Swiftech Storm at $85 is considered top dog of CPU blocks but due to its pure jet impingement design it's useless in a multiblock system as the impingement restricts flow rate and lowers head. At $49.99 Swiftech's Apogee Extreme kicks ass on mulitblock setups running 2 CPUs/1 GPU or 1 CPU/2 GPUs as long you run a good radiator and resivoir instead of a T valve. And big block GM Dual heater cores provide the best flow at about $20 as oppossed to $120; 1977 Pontiac Bonneville w/o AC are best.

    Anyway, don't be afraid to ask question before you purchase any parts. And
    have fun and get your feet wet.
