Ohk guys, to think, I've actually been considering switching to watercooling lately, as I've noticed that the price of a bunch of Papst or Panaflo fans, some hole-saws and a big-ass heatsink ends-up being pretty damn close to that of a radiator, waterblock and pump. I know what I want for a pump, an Eheim 125 (probably, if not than another model), and a <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/maze3.html" target="_new">Maze3</A> (or perhaps a <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/mcw5000a.html" target="_new">Swiftech MC500A</A> ?)...
Now what I'm stumped on is a radiator. I know I want to keep the margin big for what I can use as a CPU b/c I will be upgrading soon, and again, and again, and, well, you get the idea. Right now its an Athlon XP 1600+ (Palamino) - and yes, I will be OCing. Now, I've got a bunch of choices from Directron.com, where I can get myself some stuff on store credit, so hell, why not take advantage (unless someone can point out a good radiator at a decent price somewhere else, I would like to keep it to these choices). Anyways, there's <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/rad676.html" target="_new">Swiftech's RAD676</A> radiator which can handle 2 120mm fans, then there's the <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/xtreme1.html" target="_new">Black Ice Extreme</A>, an OEM <A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/directron/radiator1.html" target="_new">"Low Pressure Drop"</A> radiator and finally <A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/directron/wc417.html" target="_new">Danger Den's "Heater Core"</A>.
They've also got <A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/directron/innovaset2.html" target="_new">Innovatek's SET2 watercooling kit</A>, which I've heard some good about but nonetheless, I would still rather picking and choosing myself, though the kit does look pretty nice for the price - but I don't know.
Anyways, what do you guys use. Svol, I know you just made your own waterblock, but what did you use before ? Any and all replies are welcome, thanks.
