New peltier rig

[advancedkill]

Hi - I am thinking of setting up a water-cooled peltier rig. I'll cool my gpu with it, which is an ati 9800xt.

The mcw60t vga looks great, and i think that it will fit my 9800xt. I'm willing to buy a case up to the size of a cooler-master cm stacker (I already have 1 and can accommodate almost anything). THe question is, as im new to water-cooling, can the guys at extremeprometeia design a system for me? (im short of time and haven't got a clue on how everything fits together)

What i will need:

1*Swiftech mcw60t gpu peltier

1*triple 120mm radiator (or 2 double 120mm fan radiators)

1*the best pump you guys offer (no consideration for noise) - just the best

1*easily accessible reservior (i understand that i may need to drain the system for various reasons, and that you use the reservior for this)

lots of*1/2" tubing

a load of*barbs - i dont raelly unerstand them, so just tell me what to buy

1*a power supply to power this monster peltier

Thanks!!!!

I'd get two peltiers, a cpu one from coolit which you can get from a well known online retailer, and that peltier for the gpu. Do you need to refill pelltiers?

Mod comment: No competitors please.

Err... A peltier is an electrical device...its a heatpump, doesnt need refilled, no. My worry is that if you dont REALLY know what you`re doing with pelts, you probably shouldnt be messing with them. Please try it all out on something unimportant first, away from your prized rig.

I thought a peltier was like a water cooler? What are they? :?:?:?:?:?:?

The hot side of a peltier needs to be well cooled- air cooling cant cut it, but water is fine, so water is involved, but the peltier itself is electrical. Eventually, due to the way they work, they will burn out... bad things will probably happen then as the card wont be getting cooled properly.
