@ Nate... how did you get -46*c on your chiller???  Best I could get was -31 in a 10*F room!  Was that the coolant or the evaporator?

heh... I made prestone soda... thats how.   heh  

I will never know how cold it got cause my meter pegged out at -50°C

pwnzorz:  I use 1/2" primoflex in some sections, but I use mostly some other type of what I can best describe as surgical tubing.  If i ever find out what that stuff is I will let you know.  but the primoflex works juuust fine... even on some of my super cold lines. 

As for res-pump combo's... never used.  I use the swiftech pump.  It is magnetically driven.  If you take the pump apart... there is only one moving impeller and that is it.  It also has functioned as a primary pump for one of my chillers (whenever I forget to switch the main pump on)  It pumps water to a chiller 3 feet above it , and probably close to 8 feet away.  If that isn't a test of a PC pumps abilities i don't know what is. 

compression fittings... I don't think they are necessary.  they look really nice and if your into looks (which most of us are not *ahem* oc333 *ahem*) then my all means go for it, but they will quickly rack up your budget

Oh and a Radiator, most likely a 120.3, from what i read, the price difference doesn't justify the performance gains.

Read that review when you get a chance... I think it is new... not sure... I might have missed it before... the last time I read Skinnee's triple rad review it was missing some of those rads including the Swiftech stack that I now have... I took a quick glance at it just now and the stack is not looking very good.  Now the Monsta rad... I would like to see a review on that!!! Also all 140mm rads!!!
For my Thermoelectric Madness the more the better!!!  The more... the more quiet as well.

Heya Nate, Overclocker333 recommend a Koolance combo res/pump, its alittle pricey at 200bucks but it may be the perfect solution for me
At the moment i'm still in need of 5870 and 5970 blocks, and Fittings, either compression or 3/8 ID over 1/2 barbs.

@ 200?!?!  heeeck NOOOOOO!!  thats gonna be half your budget?! (half inch gets more flow) you will save ton's just by getting pump and res seperate

 

nateman_doo  I use the swiftech pump.  It is magnetically driven.  If you take the pump apart... there is only one moving impeller and that is it.  It also has functioned as a primary pump for one of my chillers (whenever I forget to switch the main pump on)  It pumps water to a chiller 3 feet above it , and probably close to 8 feet away.  If that isn't a test of a PC pumps abilities i don't know what is. 

 
The pump in the Koolance is the same pump... it is a rebranded Delphi pump... same as the Danger Den too.  They come in two gph versions. 

nateman_doo compression fittings... I don't think they are necessary.  they look really nice and if your into looks (which most of us are not *ahem* oc333 *ahem*) then my all means go for it, but they will quickly rack up your budget  

 
*cough*
I am into looks dude... it's just the messy bench look... lol  Seriously... I do like good looking hardware... but functionality would be my priority. The two thing I am hesitant about the compression fittings is the can leak and they are very bulky which can create problems in some situations.

The pump I speak of is in the kit below.  It functions well  through 8 feet of lines, 3 feet above (thats 8 feet 1 way, so over 16' it can function)

Here is the entire kit:

I would recommend 2 more 120.3 rads (http://www.microcenter.co...ml?product_id=0245928) to go with the 120.2.  You can put the 120.2 on the backside panel with the PSU, and the triple rads wherever you like (mine are in front) 

so thats 229 for kit, & 59 for each triple rad.

So is that something you can use... or a total disaster?

it just seems that it would be easier, if you can think of another solution please help.
i'm thinking of going with the Feser 120.3.
still need fittings and tubing size, inner and outter.
and if im going pump/res seperate i need those, most likely i'll be getting a t-virus res, so if i go pump i'll pick the resevoir myself.

that link didn't work nate.

Swiftech = lots of bang for the buck!!!

fixed the link.  you guys respond faster then I can type.  and prestone soda is BAD :P

this way you have extra money for whatever you like... say waterblocks?
