My MCP600 and coolsleeves arrived today, finishing off the major component list. Picking up my worm drive clamps tonight, since I wasn't expecting my shipment until tomorrow.
Listy:
brass top RBX (#5 installed now, and I radiused the holes on the intake side of the plate. Can this plate be recommended in this setup? Any better ones I should be using?)
Silverprop Fusion HL (sexy sexy block)
1/2" ID Clearflex
blue Coolsleeves for tubing above
2.5x4" round res from 2Fresh
Bonneville heater core from 2Fresh
MCP600 Rev2
Zerex additive
distilled water
2x 120mm Evercool aluminum fans
making a shroud from a cereal box and d.sided tape until I move back home, then it's metal time
Other parts for this week's built include:
OCZ flower sinks for my MOSFETs
OCZ BGA copper sinks for my 9800Pro
Cooler Master Aerogate 2 (thermal sensors: CPU, GPU, NB, H2O)
MCX159-A
"Universal" non-conductive cpu shim
I still have to measure my PSU to see if I'll be able to fit something new in there, if I ever need to. Hopefully a Fortron 530 is as big or smaller than the Super Flower 350W that came with my case. There's not too much extra room in the roof of my case when the rad's in there.
The only aluminum parts are in the pump, and I'm pretty sure that the housing isolates the aluminum from the water. I'm at work, and don't have a screwdriver here to pull the housing off to check. So I think I have the materials part covered as best as I can.
So does anybody have any last minute advice for me? I'll be pulling my whole box apart tonight to test fit all this stuff, so I can get lengths and stuff all measured up. I'd rather not leak-test the loop with the Zerex in there, to keep the bubble situation to a minimum. If I have to put a bit in to dye the water, so it shows up on paper towel better, that's an option.
So I'm building the loop tonight, so it can leaktest until the weekend. THEN it will start calling my case it's home. Is there anything I'm missing? When my last box of bits arrived today, the reality finally hit me that I was actually going through with this (been planning since I built the computer last September). I sure hope this goes well. I'm far from stupid/dumb, so it should go fairly smoothly, but it'd be nice to hear any concerns/suggestions before I start cutting tonight.
Thanks in advance!
