Well after a long time of visiting these forums and reading all there is about water cooling, i'm at the point where the fans must go... well at least most of them.
So i'm calling for your assistance in creating a rig. I'm not a crazy overclocker so i don't need fantastic expensive waterblocks although the benefit for some overclocking would be nice Just need to get rid of this horrible noise, besides i think it gives me dry mouth . I also want to attempt to keep the cost under $250-$300.
Unfortunately, I seen alot of fantastic work with water and i like to see something deceptively complicated, and mabey pointless but fun
So i'v been thinking of cooling my CPU, Norhtbridge, and video card in a parallel manner.
I got XP2800+ Barton 333 FSB with Corsair TWINX 512 Meg 2700LL on an Epox 8rda+ with a GeForce 3. I'm not shure how much heat this is putting out, but a fair ammount i would assume.
i'm not going to use a Res even though it might make things easier.
The loop i'm hoping to run would be...
Pump -> Radiator -> Divider -> CPU, NB, GPU (Parallel), Collector, Pump.
i'd run 1/2 from the pump down to the radiator across to the divider then up through the rest of the water blocks back to the collector then 1/2 back to the pump.
The pump I have my eyes on the Swiftech MCP-600 12volt v2.0 for the convenience and safety, it expensive but it looks like i could have some fun with it(Rheobus) since its DC. I'v heard bad stories about the last model i'm wondering who has the MCP-600 version and how it performing for them.
The waterblocks would be from swiftech as well because of the wide selection of parts, smaller hose barb attachment and tubing.
I'm kinda lost on a selection for a Radiator, swiftechs i tiny and i don't belive they could handle the heat being put out, although i did see a 6"x6"x2" radiator that i can barely manage to fit at CrazyPC along with the Pump.
I was also thinking of using a bypass for the radiator to reduce restriction (if any) or to test the effects of such a device.
Also the Divider and Collector to distribute the water, I was thinking of using Lexan or a couple blocks of plastic and drill the paths for water, although i'm not shure where i could get something like that to work with.
I think I overshot my budget. Anyways tips, suggestions, thoughts, and ideas.
