Yo. Okay, so i am considering getting a watercooling setup (either that or severly overhauling my CPU air cooling), and was wondering, what's the best setup i can get for 100-200$. I know to go to dangerden, but I don't know what would be best in the price range. It would be nice to have 3/8ths all around but 1/2 is fine. Perferrably closer to 100$ then 200$. No pre-built systems, obviously.

I have a Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3200+, and a ATi Radeon X800SE.

It would be nice to have a pump, CPU block, GPU block, Northbridge block (if i have enough cash), rad, and a res with a fillport.


Thanks,
Omega

I'm a big fan of the eheim pumps. I have one for my current mod, and they are beyond hoss. You won't ever need anything bigger than eheim.

If you're going to be working on a budget, I would definitely suggest dangerden. They are one of the best watercooling companies around and will answer questions you might have.
