New Case - Want to water cool it

[Fuganater]

I found this temp monitor too http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=28836 Looks like the best one so far unless its a bad brand? Now to find a mount if its a good one.

I could do 2 of them. Here is the bracket http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=28824 one on each side of the rad. Temp in and temp out.

One of these for the back of the case. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12...Fan.html#blank

you don't really want any sort of dye in your loop it will clog your blocks i have seen it happen many times. just run straight distilled water. get colored tubing. primochill is pretty good stuff.

Update on parts:

Fan controller: Lamptron 20W - 4 Channel Aluminum Rheobus w/ Multi Color LED Display
Temp Probe: Bitspower G 1/4" Temperature Sensor Stop Fitting There is a 1/4" stopper in the top of my bay. I could put this in after it is filled correct? And just disconnect my fill tube. If not I'll use this T connector.
Inline temp probe?: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/inteseforaqa.html
Temp Display: I can't find any that aren't already prewired.
Dye: Mayhems Candy Red It says it will stain over time but thats life. I don't plan on changing colors and if I do I'll buy new tubing.
Fill/Drain Ports: Swiftech 1/2" Brass Remote fill port
Barbs: Bitspower Matte Black G1/4" Barb Fitting

if your still going with that XSPC single bay, you will not be able to use the temp probe at the top for 2 reasons. 1. the top if the fill port, so water won't reach that height. 2. it's larger then g1/4 threading, however XSPC does sell an adapter to standard g1/4 threading, Link.

i wouldn't bother with multiple temp probes within your loop, there's not much you can do with that info.

and i still vote for no dye as well.

Thanks all for your help. I've put up the worklog

oh, i forgot to add that if your getting those barbs, i would step up to 1/2" tubing, it will be a hell of a bitch to get 3/8" over that. it was hard enough to get 7/16" over them.

it can be done though. i've seen 3/8 over the stock pump barbs on a mcp655 which are about as big.

the build came together nicely, can't wait for the pictures. can you update this thread.

<----- has 3/8" tygon over 1/2" DD Fatboys. Its much easier to do than most of you say. I did mine with out hot water. Just a little coolant as lube and they slip right on. It does take a little force but its not as bad as you guys say.

hmm.. ok well i raise you 7/16" over 1/2" copper pipes man that wasn't fun. it took me near 20 minutes to get 1 on WITH soap as a lube.

So I guess I should go with 7/16's tubing. I've done a bunch of research and it seems to be the way to go now a days.

Yes, but you can get it cheaper at Jab-Tech.
