What do you think about the Watercooling setup

I am planning on getting in to watercooling and what do you think about this setup.
Swiftech MCW6002 from Sidewinder Computer for $42.50
Black Ice Pro II Radiator at Danger Den's store for $35.99
Danger Den HDP SIngle 5 1/4 reservoir for 17.95 at Danger Den's store.
Danger Den's CPS-MAG 12 Volt pump for $50 at Danger Den's store.
7 feet of 1/2 id chemical tube from McMaster for 4.76
Total of 151.20

Also I need help with Fans I am think about 2 120mm Panaflo Medium speed. Also where can I get a shroud.
 
Looks fine to me, but based on the rig in your sig it seems to me your money would be better spent on a 939 board and an A64 cpu. Just something to think about.

Very true.

But if you want to spend on the watercooling instead, go ahead. It'll last you. Everything looks good, that pump is kinda weak though, a D4 would be better and allow for more extension later on (in case you want to add NB or GPU cooling) but is about 20 dollars more expensive.
 
Right now I am going to get that pump because I have a 150 dollar budget without the fans. I will probably upgrade to it later. The reason I am upgrading to water cooling is because I have 7 fans in my system and it is not pretty. I also am having it in my bedroom which would also make it louder. I have another question. Would a Maze 4 from Danger Den or a TDX be a better choice for the waterpump or do I need a more powerful pump.

If you're going to water cooling for the low noise you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Air cooling can get you more then acceptable temps with nearly complete silence.
 
I'd stay with the Swiftech CPU block, it's cheaper and performs as well, if not better than the Danger Den blocks, it's just not as pretty.............😉
