    Hello all,

    I have turned from the ITX thread and have got together a new spec for a computer. budget is £1,500. This thread is about water cooling, I like the look of it and it looks like it does the job (a lot quieter than fans can do the job) :p

    But I was to know is it worth it, what kind of parts do I need for water cooling, I see radiators, monsoons and loads of other stuff that I have no clue about. Do the components in my computer need to be compatable with water cooling?

    Basically I need a full water cooling kit for my PC compatible with my case Corsair 450D. I would like clear tubing and a color of water cooling fluid, just not clear. I like the look of that.

    Can anyone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated!

    Current PC Spec if anyone would like to try and improve on it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O2yLiyXCIo7JvT9ViHUsaky5scdC7lRMwaewyXnlcg8/edit#gid=0

    Thanks!

    **EDIT**

    Ultimately what I'm picturing in my mind is something like this:

    Might be a bit late but a lot of people recommend already having a mental image (or drawing) of how they want the loop setup.
    Also make sure that res comes before the pump in the loop otherwise it'll go dry and break.
