Pha! Ask not what is overkill, instead ask what you can kill..over...?? Ok, that sounded better in my head :P Anyways, point being that watercooling is only overkill if you think it is. And as many of us will tell you, overkill is very rarely a bad thing. :D

As to you question about the loop, if you fabbed all the block yourself, you would just need to get fittings (unless you fab those too), tubing, radiators, and a pump. A good pump will run you at least ~$50, the tubing depends on what tubing you get and how much you need, and the radiators can range anywhere from $30-$300, depending on how much cooling you want. Oh, and a reservoir, which will usually be under $50.

I might have to bring in some specs and photos of each part and see can fab up, I'm pretty sure we can do the blocks and I think we might even be able to make a res. But all of this is much further down the road, first I need to figure out what I'm gonna do to my case haha.

Oh and thanks for the info!

Sounds like you are having a great time thinking about all of this. Feel free to ask us any questions in the future.


for the copper, I buy mine from Storm copper supply. It kinda looks like a scam site, but I buy from them all the time.

Got some pics of my case:

Could I start a thread in the "Works in progress" area even if I don't really have a game plan yet?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that these pics are after I sand blasted the front and side panel.

Absolutely. I've started some threads that never got finished. I don't think that will happen to you, but if you've done any work whatsoever then you have a work in progress.

Ok I just started the thread here.
