Well, I am taking the plung!! (get it plung) I am going to water cooling!! I've got the radiator on the way, it is a dual fan black ice. Here is the rest of the stuff I am looking at:
Mounting Bracket
Pump
CPU Block
Fill Port
T-Line
Clamps (about 15 of these)
Tubing (about 10 feet)
Well, that is about all I can think of!! What do you guys think, am I missing anything important? I am not sure what fans to get, I want them to be quite so if you got any suggestions let me know!!

Unfair MO! What was in the PM? In one thread you were pretending? to sell you W/C system. Are you pro or con when it comes to W/C?
Looks like good picks for a custom system so far chriso!

Thanks guys!!! I am thinking I am pretty much set once I mess with the radiator to make sure this is all going to work.

Well, I got it all done and put back together. It is working great!! The install took a long long time, worked on it like all day. But taking your time is worth it when doing a project like this so I highly recommend it!!! Not a single leak!! It was a lot of fun and I think it turned out well!!
Here are some pics and a movie for your viewing pleasure!!

Thank you to all that have advised me over these last few weeks!! I know I was probably a pain with all my silly questions but I was nervous doing this. Again, thank you.

Looks good Chris, only one potential problem I can see, an that is the rad sitting at the PSU exaust, that will potentially heat that up alittle.

Yup, I thought of that as well. But nothing I could do to get around it. Just have to deal with the slightly higher temps.

Looks great Chris!
Well done buddy.......awesome work
I would have mounted the rad using the TOP fan though......so rad is sitting down from PSU......there looks plenty room for the VGA cable etc if you had.
Good job!
