I was looking around for water cooling, and i was looking at DIY because i thought it might be cheaper, and of course it is. But, I also wasn't too sure if i should just buy a kit. I found this: http://www.xoxide.com/koolancepc2.html
is that a good case with water cooling, or would it be better (not necessarily cheaper, i'm looking in the $200 range) to just do it myself with my current case (NZXT Guardian)? I don't have extreme amounts of room left, but i was thinking something from dangerden, like one of their "custom" configurations...i was thinking something like this:
MAZE4 w/ copper top
1/2" fittings
Eheim 1048
7' of clear flex (is it worth it for tygon?)
DD 5.25" reservoir
and the zerex cooling solution
12 hose clamps
i was thinking pump->cpu->res.->pump
would these also be good for possibly adding a gpu block later?
this is my first WC system, so i was at first reluctant to go DIY, but then i searched about it and found that its cheaper and its not that hard to put together (or so i hope
)
thanks in advance for the help
