Tubing:
http://www.microcenter.co...tml?product_id=0275963
I would honestly start with 30' of tubing.  You may be able to find tygon tubing online at other places online for MUCH cheaper.

Fittings:

(the more the merrier)

CPU block:
Too many to choose from

Res:

(consider if you have a Mountain Mods case, you have LOTS of drive bays to fill up, so maybe look for bay style reservoir's?  that's why I made my own res)

Chipset blocks Block:  (consider board specific full coverage blocks, far easier then individual generic blocks)

Video card Blocks:
choose your own

Fillport:

(if you drill a hole in the top of your case, and install this... adding water to your system will be cake.  But you don't have to.  it sometimes pays to learn the hard way )

Don't forget clamps, but this is everything I can think of off the top of my head to get you going.

whats the real difference between tygon and primoflex stuff?

*shrugs*  its tubing.  literally any tubing will do, but you want some strength along with flexibility.  Plus you don't want to kill yourself getting tubing on fittings.  Just remember you get what you pay for (in most cases)

the MCP-655 is a beast, sadly mine died and was replaced by a MCP-355 with aftermarket pump top.

Natemans list is pretty complete, I suggest you get some worm clamps if you are worried about leaking.  They are cheap and very very effective.

Don't forget to factor in fans to the cost, these are my choice for high CFM, low cost, and good static pressure:

I have those fans matched up to this fan controller and the thing is a monster:

after all is said and done, i'm now worried about my psu, running all this equipment, enermax galaxy dxx 1000watt
Running a 5870 and 5970 both Overclocked and a 920 overclocked to about 3.8 4.0.
plus the Mountain Mods case has a ton of fans on its own.

yes it does have lots of fans, but those fans i suggested are for the rads, you dont want to be using low CFM crappy stock fans on a rad.  Especially not something with tight fin spacing, say swiftech for example.

the fan controller is not a PSU, its just something so that you can adjust the speed of high RPM fans

heh... PSU... man do I have some experience with that now it was a journey down that road, but I am better for it now. 

I would just advise going with a SINGLE RAIL power supply.  multiple rails give your different "accounts" to take from.  A single rail will give you one big "account" to take from.  If your Hard drives are using 1 amp, why would u give them a 20 amp line?  Your graphics cards may need more then 20 amps, so they will suffer, while your hard drives have all the extra current that could be allocated for the graphics just wasting. 

I forgot about the fans, good call Vokl.  If you get Coolermaster fans, they don't need a fan controller, they are VERY quiet on their own.  Plus they come in a 4 pack in black or a 2 pack in blue

Also the nice thing about the MM case, is you get the back panel which has the openings for 2 PSU's.  You can wire 2 power supplies.  If you get a nice new one, then use that for the mobo and graphics, and thats IT.  Use your old one to power the pump, hard drives, fans, dvd's, partridges in pear trees, lights etc.

sure you could get some CM fans, but the ultra kaze will blow them away (literally).  plus with the fan controller you can simply turn them down to a volume level you like, and then when you need the extra juice you can crank them up to 11.  Also don't forget to factor in that the fans i suggested are a 38mm fan and pwn the CM fans in static pressure ;)

oh and you guys better watch out, all your records are belong to me



Will be sending in an order to either Sdumper or RunMC hopefully this weekend
