Hi,
I've finally decided to go watercooling for my cpu only, after years of Vantec Tornado torture on a SLK-900.
I need a bit of advise on my pump and reservoir. I was looking at this pump:
http://www.wholesalepumps.com/Product.cfm?DID=7&PID=631
and using an empty Absolut vodka bottle as my reservoir. I think I can drill out 2 holes, one near the bottom and another maybe a third of the way up the bottle and use silicone/RTV sealant to hold the in and out barbs.
Is that pump reliable/quiet? and would a 750mL bottle of Absolut be big enough for that pump? or would I need to get to work on a handle of liquor right now?
Also, is there a very large difference in performance between the DD RBX and TDX cpu blocks?
Other components I pretty much decided on, 0.5" Tygon tubing, modified bonneville heater core, 2 x 120mm fans, everything will be mounted in a separate box with the hoses passing through a blank pci slot.
I might eventually put the watercooling box in a minifridge with 2 holes drilled in the side of the fridge for the hoses and sealed around the hoses with Mono Foam or silicone.
