Well I've finalized my wc parts purchases

[Puffnstuff]

I originally wanted to base it on an aquacomputer aquastream xt advance made by eheim but since nobody in the US has them I settled for a swiftech mcp655 variable pump. I also considered the version with the koolance speed control but the way it mounts blows so I stuck with the standard version. I suppose that later on I could change the front to a koolance or ek housing. I went with the enzotech luna rev a cpu block, enzotech evx-58 chipset block and swiftech MCW60-4870 VGA water block which just happened to be about the only one I could find that was still in stock and will fit my reference style 1 his hd 4890 card. I also went with a feser x-changer 360 radiator and a ek dual bay spinner reservoir, scythe ultra kaze 3k fans with a scythe km-02 fan controller. I'm also going to run a tube from it through the fill hole on my haf 932 with a black ek fill port. This is going to be a single loop setup and its primary purpose is quiet cooling. I might be inclined to oc just a little but that is not my goal. I also find the waterfall sound that the ek res makes to be very soothing. I am going to add a dual 12" cold cathode to highlight the coolant but that is far as the bling factor is going. I'm using a combination of enzotech, feser and ek 1/2" ID fittings to keep restrictions to a minimum. Hopefully once I get it done and running I can take pics of it. I'm gonna have to tidy up my case wiring a little bit more but I'm looking forward to doing this little project.

Can't take a pic until it gets here and I can install it lol.

I got my stuff today from newegg and my enzotech evx-58 waterblock was dented on the pipe between the bridges. That rather upset me so I rma'd it along with the luna cpu block and the retention module back to them for a refund. I'm after a heatkiller 3.0 block now and am weighing my options for another chipset block. The bitspower block is looking pretty good right now but I haven't decided.

Apogee XT > HK 3.0

Well every test I've seen puts the hk 3.0 at the top of the heap when it comes to cooling so I've gone that route. This is how things look now:
Pump: swiftech mcp655 variable
CPU: Heatkiller 3.0
GPU: swiftech MCW60-4870 which fits my his hd 4890
Reservoir: EK Dual bay spinner
Radiator: Feser xchanger 360
Fans: Scythe Ultra Kaze 120 3k rpm
Fan Controller: Scythe Kaze Master 4

I picked up some 1/2" ID tubing and a cutter from home depot. I've pretty much decided to use the EK-FB Kit evga x58-acetal blocks for my mb. Just waiting for them to come back in stock so I can buy them. The scythe fans are so thick, 38mm that I might have a problem mounting the rad in the top of my case. I'm also looking at the innovatek 5 1/4 bay mounted pump controller as a possibility. I like being able to control the pump from the outside instead of having to open the case and adjust the back of the pump directly everytime I need to change the flow.

trust me.

If you dont have the HK cancel it.

Vapor and Skinnee are good friends of mine.
Skinnee is a RL friend now that i met him. And i trust his testing more then any other testers out there.

TL;DR because of that exact reason.

Still no pictures?

I'll post pics after I swap in my evga e760 classified and get a new gpu and add it to the loop. My hd 4890 died and I'm on my old 8800gts 512 until I can decide on what to get. Gotta wait for fermi to hit the shelves first.
