Need some suggestions
I want to start water cooling my system. I think I want to start off with something simple but expandable. I want to start with only liquid cooling my cpu with something quiet and hopefully something I can overclock my 3.2ghz with. And hopefully because it will be a basic beginning it will be kind of inexpensive, but reliable and expandable with additional blocks for GPU, and chipset, and probably HDs soon one step at a time. It seems Eheim is the way to go for the pump, but what about the other components and also which model of Eheim? What do you guys recommend?
I would also suggest the Eheim 1048. I am using it and I love it-it provides great flow rate and is very quiet. Also, it is a strong enough pump for future expansion to GPU and chipset cooling-right now I am cooling my GPU and CPU with it, and I have an huge case (the 1048 pumps the water up about 20''....)
As for a waterblock, I've always been partial to danger den's blocks (www.dangerden.com) Heck, if you go with the second newest model, the Maze 4, it's on sale for about $35 now..

Hope this helps.
