Im a college teacher and i have been with computer since i was about 5 years old.

Now I am into modding computers and pushing them to their limits and now i am looking at water cooling

Take a look at my current setup !

Only thing that has changed since this photo is the GPU its not that GTX470 anymore. Its a HD 7850 now.

 
Cant go wrong on XSPC harware but the res/pump combo has the reputation to be noisy .

Hmm any other suggestions? Im not looking at doing GPU just yet just been looking into a basic CPU loop for now i been watching this guy that does vids from OC3D.

My mate is also saying that i shouldnt buy anything except for swifttech????
 
What is your budget for your loop ?

If you can spend a bit more , you can pick each component seperately .

I been looking at that idea but i would really know where to start i did look into one part though some quick release barbs

Just get normal compression fittings , a D5 pump + aftermarket top , a nice cpu block , res ( bayres if you dont have much space in your case ) , rad ( 240 is enough just for a cpu loop) , tubing and some liquid .

And of course some quiet fans !
 
Really nice setup man. How is computer treating ya after being with it for so many years
