I'm looking for a reasonably quiet watercooling setup - size is not really an issue as you all know how big my case is - and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for manufacturers? Budget is about 70 quid tops before discount (review-discount basis) so i'll be okay for anything up to 50 or 60 quid.
Also, its just a duron 950, but I'll be upgrading soon (hopefully) - Is BE Cooling's kit okay?
Thanks :)
have a look at www.overclockedpc.co.uk (http://www.overclockedpc.co.uk)
check out the link to Innovatek (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=000036)on my post on that thread.
budget of 70 quid is seriously pushing it.. would need some major hunting or low-price stuff, right?? and that's if there are any that "low price"...
Well it could be done if you shop around. One of the less costly suppliers is BEcooling (http://becooling.safeshopper.com/6/cat6.htm?427).

You will be struggling for £70, SERIOUSLY!
I know how much it cost to put my system together and I can tell you it was around £400-500 althought the case was around £200 for the Tower. So, your looking at around £200 for a base system, but if your gonna water cool then u want to go the whole hog

70 quid no chance of doing a full setup for that m8,ive just done mine and it cost just over £200 mind you i got the best stuff i could afford as ive just sold my old dvd player so that hellped a bit my setup is as follows
1048 pump
bix rad(firebrand)colour
spir@l waterblock(got this from the usa)
silicon hose no kinks good stuff.
120mm fan(ive got a delta 120mm 190cfm to go on)
And a tupaware tup for a res cost me £1.00 with 1/2 brass barbs on.
I was going to watercool my gf3 but the fecker died on me so i got me a gf2 ti for now,the block i got for my gf was the DDgf4 block very nice block.
Hope you can find what you need m8. :D

you could do it for 70 quid quite easilly if u watch the pennies ur lucky if my setup cost that much.... i have the block milled only had topay for the copper £15 for enuf for the cpu northbridge and my 3 psus i made the rad from copper pipe and a radbox from alu the pump cost me 20 quid from aquatics-online . all u have to be willing to do it put the work in
My first watercooling setup cost me ahem £12.50 ;)
It consisted of washing machine (inline duh!) pump fitted with c(k)ustom made metal adapters to take in water from a chilled vat/tub whatever of water! ie a fridge (kind of!)this was then connected to my homebrewski alu waterblock which was covered in expanding foam :) to stop mositure and electricity hilarity!
not bad for £12.50
waterblock was made from an offcut
fridge thing from a skip!
not bad cely400 running at 620mhz!!
occasinally booting at 700mhz :)
good luck with home made approach
ps i use air cooling now :)for lan-o-fun
