There you are

I share your view. I would never want to shove cheap china ebay stuff on my $700 dollar gpu. Im sure it will work fine, but Id rather pay another $20-30 for something reputable for peace of mind.

Bracket to mount a CLC cooler like the Kracken or H60 etc. It supposedly works with any astek CLC

It is compatible, they just don't have the full list yet. Same goes for the 290 280 280x etc. Confirmed here http://www.reddit.com/r/NZXT/comments/1rhxf3/kraken_g10_gpu_bracket_is_now_available_for/

Thanks I plan on doing a buildlog once I start this project, but it probably wont happen until I get my winter layoff from work, by then I should have some money and i'll have the time. I Nuclear cooling tower would look pretty snazzy in the top of my house, alas I have a feeling the...

Thank you

Pretty much this. There is a average of 5m (16ft) of snow each winter. Also Fenris, thanks for all your input. I am thinking of giving the Heat Transfer Plates a try honestly. However I wont have time for this project until the winter sadly :(

Ok wow, seems I am getting a lot of environmental flak here. To address some points, I am not on a well it is the city water supply, and there is no water meter. Welcome to Newfoundland Canada. Second I would consider my current water usage lower then the average citizen of this city...

This would be a lot harder to flush when cleaning. Also it means some waterlines would have to be outside, and since we have cold winters here the lines would freeze fast. The lines would have to be properly insulated which can become pretty costly.

I’ll just add an extra drain to the sewer line, not hard at all, or since the water will be under pressure it won’t be hard to get it across the basement and tee into an existing drain line. Yes exactly. The idea is to get the most bang for my buck. I might take the time to actually crunch...

Another excellent Idea. This is why I love discussing things before doing them. This would be cheaper and probably more efficient.

Ok thanks. The tap water is always cold so temp wont be an issue. Did you have a look at my diagram though? Would it be beneficial to add multiple Plate Heat Exchangers the way I showed?

OK. So this plan has the constant flowing loop on one side of the Plate Heat Exchanger, with the closed loops of the PC on the other side. It makes sense, however the PC loop would still need a pump and a reservoir. Also would this Plate heat be efficient enough or would I still need Radiators...

Sounds like an interesting idea. However I have no idea where to get a plate heat exchanger or how much one would cost.

Ya that makes sense however putting the PC in the basement its really an option since I like looking at it. I would like to get this desk in the future. http://redharbinger.com/ Also what cants you water block, you can get CPU GPU HDD NB SB RAM, I guess the only thing you can water block...
