Water cooling...

[Shimmishim]

Okay...

so after doing a little research ... is this what i need for a watercooling system?

waterblock for the cpu
radiator
pump
fans to blow on the radiator
and tubing to connect all my junk...

ALSO...

what are the advantages / disadvantages of having a reservoir and does one need a reservoir?

can you guys suggest a good place or places to find all the necessary components for a watercooling setup?

what's a peltier and why do you have to worry about condensation from one (do they keep temps below room temperature)?

yup... i think that's it...

THANKS!

so far i've found that www.dangerden.com has good waterblocks... the maze3 or something...

first of all, go here to find anything you need for watercooling
for tubing, i like the soft silicon rubber tubing at mcmaster.com
you usually want your fans to suck through the radiator, and make sure you "duct" the uncovered part of the radiator to the fan(s)
you'll need connectors and adaptors so you can hook up your reservoir, pump, radiator, block(s), etc
a peltier is a thermoelectric cooler that moves massive amounts of heat, making one side really cold(against the cpu) and the other really hot(against the water block)
a reservoir is helpful in a system because it makes it easy to add water(you just pour it into the reservoir)
an inline system(without a reservoir) is significantly harder to set up because it requires carefully adding water to the line and bleeding out the air
i think that's it--let me know if you need anything else

Pump: Eheim 1048
WB: Maze3
Radiator: Black Ice Pro
Tubing: ClearFlex 60 - 10 ft

what other sort of fittings and stuff would i need?
is that pump enough to push all the water around?
