Now that depends. What do you want/need?

Do you want it to be high performance? Do you plan on overclocking? How aggressive of an OC do you want? What's the noise level you're aiming for? Are you on a strict budget?

There's so many different combinations, you'll have to help us out if we're going to help you out :)
 
I've been figuring this out too.

Get an RBX or LRWW CPU block.

Get the Either the Thermochill 120.2 or the Black Ice Pro whatever that fits 2 fans.

Get 2 Panaflow 120mm fans

Get either the Swiftech or dangerden chipset block

get a Danner Mag3 pump

get at least like 10 or 15 feet of 1/2" ID clearflex or Tygon tubing.

Get enough hose clamps for everything

get some wet/dry sandpaper and read up on lapping, then do it to the blocks if they need it (probably will)


Oh, and get a block for your video card too, the Maze 4 looks like a good choice.

You'll also probably want a switch dealy for the pump, so it turns on automatically with ur computer and has a plug for a power cord at the back rather then the cord coming out of your case.

Get a case that has room for that large radiator up in the top of the case such as the one at Newegg HERE

This case looks like a real good idea for mounting a radiator like that up in the top, similar in fashion to the pic you provided, but you will use a 2x120mm fan radiator, and cut 2 120mm blowholes in the top of the case. THen you can 7-volt those suckers for a real quiet cooling system that will be very effective.

Get whatever uv or colored dye or whatever, and some kind of watter wetter or some such additive.

good luck.
 
USMC that case you showed has one clean setup. One small question why does he have a little extra tube comming by the vid card? just to keep enough water in the system?

Hes using a T fitting as an alternative to a resavoir.
 
that T is actually supposed to be at the highest part of the loop. the only way i can think of how he filled it was by putting a funnel on the T so that it was higher than the rest of his loop; or he filled it when it was out of his system.
