I have yet to buy watercooling, but when I get a few paychecks in, I will probably be building a new computer and am very interested in water cooling. I'm basicaly wondering if you guys have any links to pages that show mounted watercooling. I am just curious about how people mount everything in their case. (Without tubes or a giant bong reseviour sticking out the back). Anyways, thanks.

If you get a heatercore from D-tek (which is the best) it comes with mounting hardware. Just screw it onto the inside front or back of your case.

Most pumps have some kind of suction cup device and that can set at the bottom of your case, or if you want no vibrations use string or rubber bands to isolate it.

Go to hardforums click on overclocking and cooling and click on water cooling setups. There's about 8 or 9 pages of pictures.

also try

www.procooling.com (im to lazy to link)

basically it is cheapest if you go to a local junkyard, and use an old cars heatercore saves you like 40 bux, but you have to put in some extra tool time

try enheim pumps and maybe a spiral water block

or you go could the other way and get a commpletely assembled h2o systemand case

currently I have the koolance pc2c case, but they now have antec variants, i would go antec variant as the ambient in my case get s up to 36c while my proc(1.8a at 2.7) is only at 40c

those are 2 choices, or you go super cool and spend over 600 dollars and get a vapochill case!! im gunna get one sumday trust me!

I've thought about vapochill, because if watercooling is going to cost ~$200, and I want a badass case which would be around ~$150+, the extra doesn't seem THAT bad... But I am probably only going to be getting two $200 paychecks a month, heh, so It would take a while to save all of this up anyways. Luckily, I'm only 17 and don't have to worry about much else financialy. I also lan quite a bit, and I would assume there is some risk in moving your computer around alot with water in it, but how bad is it? I guess if everything is installed well, I should be alright... Anyways, thanks for feedback so far.
