Well I don't have the experience with a W/C setup, I'm a pure high end air o/cer till this day. But day after day I like more and more the idea of a high quality W/C o/cing and of the quitness that it can offer.. I don't favor the solution of ready kits,that as with many things in hardware have their strong parts and weak ones. I would like to hear your recommendations on a complete set of parts and budget if possible.
Budget is around 200-250$(well maybe 300$ if it's really worth it). I do believe that this is a nice budget for a really good custom W/C setup so..

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.. :D

P.S :Keep in mind that I will need two blocks(gpu,cpu)

Thanks in advance

Well I won't argue that.. But since much more ppl visit the hardware forum and it's not that much unrelated to the subject,(after all I'm asking for parts) I thought of posting here..

I have a book at home with a how-to on a custom watercooling system. I can't remember all of the parts, but I can give you a few:

-Copper sheets (for making the waterblock)
-Copper tubing
-Plastic tubing
-Thermal grease
-Something to attach your Waterblock to the CPU/GPU

I couldn't really give you a budget, because you have to get some of the stuff at Home Depot.
