Watercooling parts

Hi members,

For a long time I was planing to make my own watercooling rig. Some time ago I got my PC parts and all is working fine but now I need some help with watercooling gear. I got my self Thermaltake Core V21 and my plan is:
2x 240/280mm rads on top or 1 of them on top and 1 on the side
1x 140mm rad at the front
2x 120mm slim fans as intake in the basement for fresh air intake (all set to have neutral of positive pressure in the case)

I have a SFF PSU so lots of space in the lower compartment where I want to place D5 pump and 2 res (I got a book releated reason why 2 res with liquid) going into the pump. Custom sleeved cables, fan splitters, aquaero with no screen, Singularity Computers mod for the pump and res etc. All that in the Dune theme (Franks Herbert book - huge fan of the book). My problem is that I am not able to save up around £800 for all of the gear. Any sugestion/help?

PC parts:
ASRock ITX mobo
i7 6700k
MSI 1070 Gaming X
Corsair 16GB 3200 MHz RAM
512 M.2 Intel NVME SSD (OS)
120GB Intel SSD (previous boot drive)
4TB WD RED
 
Not too sure what you're asking here? is it for advice or sponsorship?

Watercooling isn't and never will be cheap, my only advice is if you can't save up maybe get the parts a bit at a time until you have everything you need.

I'd love to see a Dune inspired build take shape though.

If you google for the case you can see where you can put the rads. Not sure if having 2 rads so close to each other will reduce the heat exchange (if I put one on the top and one on the side).

Sponsorship would be great if anyone is up for it.

If only sponsorship was that easy, if it was no one would pay for parts ever. You have to prove yourself, build up a portfolio so that manufacturers notice you first. Simply asking won't get you anything, manufacturers need a ROI.

That is something I will have to work on.
About the rads set up, what do you think about having them in the corner? Or is having 2 rads in the ceiling of the case a better idea?

haha I was just about to type that up myself. Plus companies don't go handing out bits for people to build PCs with you need to do some serious modding too. And as you say, that needs to be proven.
 
Something along these lines.

Well, when the build is done then there is nothing more than make a review and advertise is for the manufacturers. But you're right, this kind of job is a heavy planning and modding.

Thanks. So much radiator surface should be enough for CPU and GPU having it all silent at idle and very quiet while gaming so not demanding titles.
 
They don't need you to review their stuff. Tt have given stuff to Maki Role (if you don't know Alex find him, watch and learn). Plans and ideas won't get you anything either, you need lots of experience.
 
I have time and can make minor mistakes. Also I have someone to ask for help if I need any. But not going away from the whole plot, thanks for the advice and now I will focus harder to make my dream come true and save some money and buy item by item to build my dream PC.
But if there is anyone that would like to sponsor my WC gear ... ;)

BTW, did anyone make a comparisonEK new slim rads vs other brands?
