where to buy h2o kit?

[WA261]

(cheap) good place???

Buying parts seperatly is the cheapest way to go.
Go on ebay and look up heatcores and buy one for a car / plane / whatever, get it, attach barbs. - $20 - 25 with barbs
Buy a big pump (Enheim, Rio, etc) - $40- $50
Buy a good waterblock - $45
Tubing, clamps, misc - $10
Tupperware to make a resivor - $5

Total: $120, with better cooling then any of the premade ones.

Or see what you can pick up the in the forums, people usually have good deals on waterblocks and the like.

problem is....i have no clue what im doing....

lol... itll make sense sooner or later. there's guides on overclockers.com... i was looking for kits just like you... but then when i finally had a gameplan... i had to do a little modification to my case... plus $100 of equipment... too much hassle for me so im stuck with aircooling for now.

 

[WA261]

that is what i am worried about....if anything will fit in my case....

consider these websites

Dtek


Danger Den


another good website to get a idea of size of car heater core you may want...........then print out a picture and go to your local automotive store to get it. usually chevette and pontiac fieros are popular........

the kits a dtek are 189...i dont mind paying for somethig already set up....i would rather, so i can learn from what i get....do the kits a dtek look good?

 

[Jen]

Dtek Kit



here is one kit that looks fairly good..........only thing is the water block as i dont know anything about it. also on the dan mag drive pump i had a problem with mine and had to reseal it cause it leaked.


Jen

 

[WA261]

maybe i should go with the spir@l one then..... and the 1/2" kit, correct?

 

[Jen]

just realize that the spiral is long wait at the moment..............1/2 inch is what i use . I have the Maze 2 spiral design block from dangerden
