    Default Water cooling again, no kit, from the ground up this time

    Thinking about doing some watercooling and after seeing kayin's scratch build for the cooler master contest it gave me some ideas. I have the dragon rider case and was thinking about mounting this on the top:
    Swiftech MCR220 Drive Dual 120mm Radiator / Reservoir w/ MCP35X PWM Pump Combo

    What do you guys think?
    Regedit'ed, Rooted, and Jailbroke anymore questions?

    Doesn't an all in 1 system count as a kit?

    i meant universal kit, last one i had I couldn't add on to it because the tubing didn't match anything available.

    Looks good. What are you going to be cooling with it?

    I know you said no kits, and I believe the universal kit you were using was the Larkooler Universal kit, but you might still take a look at this...

    http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/?...r+KU3-241+G1/4

    I have been running it non stop for almost 4 months without a single hiccup. Its about the same price as the swiftec radiator/reservoir/pump combo and includes the CPU waterblock. This kit, unlike the universal, is all G1/4 so that should cut down on compatibility issues.

    The swiftec is pretty cool, my only concern is with the fill port. Seems like if you mount that in the top of the case, the fill port will be pretty inaccessible, but I may be wrong. I do like the idea having it all in one centralized package.

    I actually plan on mounting in on the outside of the case on top of the fan ports and then running the tubing in the back. Thinking about either mounting a bitspower 90 with a fill port or filling and leak testing with the rad vertical.
