I usually get my stuff from frozencpu and love the site but they dont take paypal any recommendations ebay doesn't have anything I want on there right now so thats out

You may get lucky and find a GPU block on newegg, which accepts paypal.

This site accepts paypal and has the best selection of watercooling parts and supplies of anywhere I have seen. https://www.performance-pcs.com

The largest selection available in the world is at frozencpu.com

http://www.frozencpu.com/

It also has the highest reseller rating

Daz mode is a bit expensive but thanks

wss_003 :

FrozenCPU accepts Paypal

They note paypal on their web site that for international orders they do not accept credit cards. Paypal is the only option.

3/17/10 - I ordered this fan grill from FrozenCPU, and paid via Paypal. The USPS tracking said it was delivered yesterday afternoon, but there was no package at my house.

Check with reseller ratings.com before buying

I think you will quickly see the advantage once you read some of the reviews at resellerratings.com as well as not the frequency of the reviews.... (i.e how many were made in 2015).

Not also that recent reviews show that frozencpu may have shut its doors.... so investigate thoroughly before purchasing.

frozencpu is where i have gotten all of my water cooling stuff i must have missed the paypal option and i also just ordered a few things from them last week so i hope they havent closed down and if so why would they still be accepting orders

wss_003 · Feb 17, 2015

well i stand corrected the phones are shut off i have sent an email to everyone who works or worked there i hope i hear back tomorrow but im not holding my breath any advice on how to retrieve my money from them

I read the entire 159 page thread (see link above) over at OCN and things are not looking good. The owner apparently has a personal issue that makes the ongoing operation of the company very iffy. It's a shame, they had unequaled selection, support and customer service and it will leave a H U G E hole in the US water cooling and customization industry.

wss_003 · Feb 18, 2015

frozen cpu is no longer taking orders and check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw6LKjH-59U

JackNaylorPE · Feb 18, 2015

I hesitate to use JayZ as the source of anything but the 159 page thread at overclock.net linked above has more recent information.

wss_003 · Feb 18, 2015

I also read the the forum and saw the pictures and the phones are off also received an email from a quote former employee from the buisness account directing me to contact the owner mark directly

JackNaylorPE · Feb 18, 2015

Given the nature of the situation, that's all I can really say at this time.

JackNaylorPE · Feb 18, 2015

Well who knows whatz gonna happen .... lot of speculation in that thread and if I was some of the posters, I'd be going back and doing a lot of deleting to try and avoid potential litigation.

Unfortunately, there is no real alternative to FCPU.

PerformancePCs still has a 6.00 resellerratings.com rating, does not have bear the stock variety and too many horror stories abound about questionable practices from "home made" crystal links ro diluted bottles of coolant. I used to by 'safe" things from them like fittings but since the new web site went up, I can't bear to shop there. I saw a lot about them being cheaper but i did a spreadsheet on a $2300 order and differences was $8 for items they both had and I had to go to two other sources to get the missing items

Other sources are run by decent folk but the stock is small.

I'm hoping it resurfaces in some form or another, run by some of the original crew .... otherwise WC will be a lot harder.

Just go to ebay and but a universal water block, and get some sheet metal and put it over the block, will cost only 5 bucks for block,
