I have an Antec SLK3700-AMB case which I wanna use for watercooling. I need help with some technical issues.
Here are the specs of my pc and watercooling components
- AMD Mobile AthlonXP 2600+ IQYHA Stepping
- Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
- 512mb Kingston HyperX DDR400 2-3-2-6-1
- 128mb ATI Radeon 9700
(yea I know its not the fastest but that's why I OC)

for watercooling, i purchased the following
Cooltek Liquidfreezer 120mm radiator
Hydor L30 Pump + Asetek Reservoir
Asetek Waterchill Antartica CPU block

now the questions :
1- should I go for a waterblock on gpu and memory together (innovatek coolmatic ati) or buy a waterblock for only gpu, this saves about 45€.
2- should i position the radiator inside the case and have the fan blowing towards it from outside the case, or put the fan inside and suck air through the radiator positioned outside.
any other ideas welcome?
3- all the connectors for the Asetek parts I bought are for 8mm interior diameter tubing. is there a way i can find plug in connectors for 10mm interior tubing. is it better this way.
i hope this setup is enough to cool gpu and cpu for decent ocing.
thx for the replies already
 
1. As for cooling the videocard memory (don't bother) it will reach its max speed long before temps become an issue. (save the $$$)

2. Fans on the outside would be my choice for better cooling (However fans on the inside would probably give a cleaner look)

I would go with whatever looks best personally, because I don't think there would be a large difference in temps between the two. (Both would be good)

3. don't know, just make sure you go to cpu first then vid card :)
