    Which is a really good watercooling setup to get?

    masterkleer 7/16 $.38/ft @ mcmaster.com - suggest getting 20ft. you can do the inlet mod on the mcp350 yourself and save yourself some $$$ and it's not hard at all.

    are their any fan temps/dba comparisons out there?

    http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=421 I tried the GlobalWin NCB 120mm from SVC.com they were pretty silent but I ended up getting led Yate Loons. I have 2 of the D12SM and one of the D12SL. The SL has more motor noise than the SM version. I'm still trying to find another SM.

    I used them on my sata 300 but not on my raptor. both are fine in each cooldrive6 I do what orion23 does. I didn't even hook up the usb for the s/w.

    Is this a good pump.

    I guess your going to be using an external then? for 10' of tubing, right? I did it with my 1st loop 3yrs ago. had my BigMama rad with a 120mm Sunon in the closet that had a window. It did work pretty good. I used a QuietOne 1200 pump. Don't even bother with those..they get real loud so don't...

    Water Cooling v. Air Cooling in new build?

    if you want high performance, neither h20 or air will be silent. you will be able to get much more silence with h20 with the same performance as with air, tho. But high performance and silence can't be had...they'll always be some amount of noise. as for the 7/16" tubing over 1/2" barbs...
