Sub 170 Watercooling?

I want to watercool my A64 since I got some spare cash. Could I build a rig that totally fits inside of my Antec Super LANBoy for less than 170$?
 
I want to OC my 3000+ Venice, and later on watercool my GPU. I understand that I cannot cool both with the money that I have :)
 
^ Ok, I would suggest building a custom Danger Den kit. Do you plan on using a reservoir or a T-line? Hmm, since you want to water-cool your GPU at some point then you might as well just get a reservoir. A T-line would be fine if you're only water-cooling the processor although having a reservoir makes it a lot easier or so I'm told.
 
I got a TDX, Maze4 GPU, DDC 12v, tubing, clamps, 120mm Radiator, dual floppy bay res all for $230 USD.

I have all this stuff in my Super LanBoy.
 
Okay must have missed that :) But I'm suprised that you guys haven't been giving all the reasons to use a T-line? Whenever we talk about using an Aquatube it certainly comes on like gangbusters ;)
 
It was suggested above; I ran a res for about 6 months until I went T-line, and I'll probably never go back. It definitly is the way to go if you are on a budget, but at the same time there is something to be said for seeing your green water moving around in the front of your PC :p
 
What exactly is a T-Line? I'm not gonna use a res unless theres some definite advantage, i was planning on hiding it behind the bezel anyway so you couldn't see the water.
 
T line is just that, picture the tubing going around... a connector that forms a T so you can fill/drain/bleed the system. A res normally just makes things "easier", from what I've gathered. No first hand experience yet
 
I'll keep you in mind 2fresh, thanks, I was hoping to put the rad close to the front bottom of the case, right next to the 120mm intake (antec super lanboy)
 
A 2Fresh 2x120 hc (make your own shroud out of ducttape & cardboard or something else), the TDX/D5 bundle, HDPE res, 10ft of Clearflex 60 & hose clamps will run you just about $170. You could save about $20 and just use a T-line (discussion), or look for a used 12v pump/current gen cpu block, but otherwise, just try and save a couple bucks more if its becoming hard to stay in your budget.
