Tell me what you guys think, this is what I got:
Swiftech Apogee Block
120MM Radiator mounted to 120MM blowhole
Swiftech Pump/res
I tried to use Tygon Tubing, I ordered a bunch of it, but it did not agree with my Radiator. It would leak for some reason, it wasn't creating a good seal. I ended up just using the more stiff stuff that Swiftech recommended.
My second problem ws the res started to leak from the fill cap. I couldn't figure out why. The system would heat up, the liquid would rise, and break the rubber seal. I tightened it as tight as I could and the problem persisted.
So, I went back, and rebled the system by putting the entire case on its side, then ran the cooling system for 30 minutes. Popped it back upright, and it hasn't leaked since. I dunno how that fixed it, but somehow it did.
In any event, here are some pics
By the size of this PSU, you can see what I needed to drill the hole close to the front of the case
