I dunno, I was looking around and saw this thing that reminded me of the Black Ice Xtreme, but 25 dollars cheaper. They're both 120mm dual pass radiators, hell this thing even has the same shroud and mounting methods as the BIX, what do you guys think? Couldn't really find any reviews of it online.

I would just purchase a chevy '86 heater core and slap some 3/8 or 1/2 barbs on. Much cheaper, and performs on par, if not better than a bix.

Dubya a heatercore would just create ploblems for me, teh noob, and this thing comes all premade for me (just like a Black Ice model) for two thirds of the price of its equivalent model. Thanks for the suggestion, many others have said the same thing. I'll jump on this one it.

Whole water cooling setup:

Swiftech MCW6002 block
Mitron Glacial-EXM rad
Dangerden D4 pump
HDPE res
lots and lots of UV green 1/2 tubing and distilled warter.
damn I think I need a new shtick of AS5. Maybe not. Hmm.

I think it all comes out to about 200 bucks not including shipping. Too bad I'll be away for the rest of this week on vacation so I won't be able to order until I get back. You know, I almost wasn't gonna get watercooling because I have a limited amount of money and I need a new tennis racquet too, but I might get my mom to buy me one. I saw a Wilson n5 on eBay new for like 150 bucks, I don't think she'll get me that one though but it's a good deal for a 220 dollar racquet. I'll probably get a Triad T3 or something. Maybe a T5.

Enough thinking out loud, I'll be sure to post pics of my awesome awesome computer once I get it set up!
