I currently have a HAF 922 on air.
I have a CM 212+ and an 80mm fan that I have added to the stock case.
I am very curious about Water cooling. I am currently running a Q6600 at 3.0 but plan to upgrade to a LGA1155 or LGA2011 chip soon. I will also be getting a GTX560 or 560ti in the near future. This thread is more or less a plan and a price I can expect to pay to WC my rig. I am thinking I need at least 360mm of rad to cool the GPU and CPU. I Figure my best bet is to install a 2 x120mm in the top and have a 1 x 120mm or 140mm at the back of the case where the current 140mm exhaust fan is. I would then move the 230mm fan from the top to the side of the case, or bottom not sure yet and probably put the 140mm fan in a couple of the empty 5.25in bays.
I need all the parts required to WC my only preferences are red/black but any silver fittings always look good.
I would like compression fittings and I like the look of dual 5.25 bay reservoirs but I have heard mixed reviews about them.
I know some of you experience Water coolers are very opinionated and any input is welcome.
I know the basic Rev 2 reservoir is half the price but here is a reservoir I like and I think would clean up the install

Here is a 3x 120mm Mod I have found as well:

**New** A little more research and I found this kit with 2 x 120mm rad with fans and CPU block I dont know much about these but I do know there are other kits with differences that I do not know.

Combing this kit with a 120mm or 140mm rad I think would get the same results for a much lesser price
