Hi Lads

I promised I would upload quality pics when I manage to get myself a decent phone, so fine some attached

Not a bad looking machine. How much did the WC system set you back by itself? I was thinking of investing in it for my next build. Also what case is that.? I like the look of the side panel

The water cooling alone set me back about 1000e mate, so not for the faint hearted
Forgot, case is the Silverstone TJ11

A THOUSAND?!?!

Someone please tell me that's not the average price of a decent water cooling setup. I'm aiming to do WC in my next rig and my choice of components is already expensive enough.

:P no, but custom loops are very expensive, and will cost you 300 euro minimum. If you buy a kit it will cost you a bit less, but it will give less performance.

Thanks. When I read that price, I simply couldn't believe it. I came up with about 500-700 for a decent set up - hundred-ish each for a good CPU/GPU blocks, so that's 250-300 gone for CPU and 2 GPU blocks (if the cards were originally air-cooled), then pump and reservoir could bring you up as far as 500 then your tubing. Then two hundred max for a decent radiator, perhaps 3 x 120mm size (one 120mm for each component cooled for a general rule of thumb) with six fans for push pull config.
Bladesofglory, care to tell us the price of each component of your WC setup please? I simply don't see where you could have spent as much as a thousand quid (unless you were like me and damaged a component and had to get it replaced?)
