Where is the best place to purchase a complete water cooling kit ? I have an itch that needs scratched and a wife to beg for an update.

**Edit**
Is the latest Koolance PC2-C mid-tower worth getting for use with an XP2200+ ?

I like dealing with Scott at http://www.highspeedpc.com He has Inovateck kits and they are a little pricey but
the quality and service are worth it.The only thing I can recomend is a larger tank since the one supplied didn't meet my needs (an xp1800 oc'ed to 1785).Bummer as i'm typing this I see on the news Hooters won't have an airline I was wondering what would happen to the boobs if they had a cabin depressureize at 35,000 ft. Oh well hope this helps.

Oops, I just saw your edit (i was still thinking about something else ) I heard some good things about the Koolance but I still like to have a larger resivor with quick access so I can drop a ice cube in from time to time when the temp. starts to climb.I'm currently using one of those Rubbermaid deals that you can find at most Dollar stores and dropping the pump and all into it (plenty of room and the pump dosen't really generate a lot of heat).

Also, http://www.crazypc.com has watercooling parts and peltier accesories for your setup.

Another place to try is Dangerden

IMHO most kits are overpriced, particularly when it comes to radiators. Most kits charge $35 and up for radiators and you can get an 86 Chevette heater core from an auto parts store for $17 that will work as well as any kit radiator. Pumps are also a bit overpriced in the kits.

If it were my dime, I would get a good waterblock from one the previously mentioned vendors, an Eheim pump from an aquarium supply place and tubing and fittings from http://www.mcmaster.com. I would use 1/2 fittings rather than 3/8 just try to keep the backpressure down. Use silicone or tygon hose and avoid vinyl.

The forums at http://www.procooling.com are full of very good information about water cooling and where to buy things.

the stuff Highspeedpc.com sells is the best. it has consistantly been rated #1 that and Scott supports PCA and is a Very nice guy!
