Re: afforable liquid cooling system?

umm depends if your overclocking, but something like this should work. $150 isnt that much though....
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=22015 - $50. not the best, but still decent. GET 1/2" FITTINGS!!!
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=4087
- $64 ramsinks ftw :)
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=22697
- $60 goes over budget, but im trying my hardest not to.
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...cbce623e1a0a6\
- $30. get the 1/2" od fittings...please....
for tubing, go to hardware store and get some 1/2" id tubing please :) and go to a grocery store for some distilled water. this is way over budget but anything less and...well...it isnt going to happen. i dont recomend this system, but if you absolutely need to watercool for nothing this is it. get a cheapo 120mm fan also, and hopefully you just have one somewhere =/

hope it helps...

Thermaltakes BigWater 735 is $80 at RadioShack, but you would need to buy the VGA waterblock to add on.

Re: afforable liquid cooling system?

i was just wondering is it better to get a res+pump all-in-one or seperately?

All-in-one is nice, but I'm not sure if that'll cause issues when it comes time to replace the pump if it ever goes bad. But I would think that really wouldn't be an issue. I just hooked up my system, which has the pump/res together and I love it. Plus it's easier to secure in your case.

Re: afforable liquid cooling system?

if your looking for just CPU id recomend the Xigmatek AIO

id cooled my proc down from 51C/62C to 27C/44C

and is fairly small as cpu heatsinks go, although its taller then my HTPC case, but then again, its a HTPC case lol
