my wanna consider 4x 2gb sticks and also a temjin tj09, its a big case and has enough space for external water loops. its also possible to get a replacement side panel so you could cut holes in it and have phase going it and stuff.
You can get a decent phase for ~300 nowadays.
also what about the P5KDelxue or the P5K3?
If you are going for 1x GTX, you may as well get a 965 board, higher overclocks, more stableOriginally Posted by wschalle
I cant help but notice the price of that ram, what spec is it? You do know that super spec ram only makes a tiny difference to overall performance? Its nice to have if you want to do a lot of tweaking, but other than that, it serves no real purpose.
If you really want cutting edge, have a look at the P5K3 deluxe, its a ddr3 board with the next generation Intel Bearlake chipset. I have the ddr2 version, and up to now, its been excellent, but its new tech, and so comes with quirks.
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
Waterblock wise, theres only really 2 choices for quad core, and they are the D-tek Fuzion and the Swifteck Apogee GTX, both are excellent.
The MM cases are ready to accept a PA120.3 in the front and a PA120.2 in the back, the back also will fit a swiftech dual rad if I remember right.
I think youll be ok with a single loop with 2 rads.
Pump wise, MCP655/D5 or DDC ultra will do fine for that setup.
Res would depend on what other stuff you have and where there is a space for it.

OK, The P5K3 Deluxe seems really freakin sexy.I think I want a stable, tested board with all the kinks worked out. The P5K3 Deluxe is so new...
Clunk: Good point about the RAM.
So maybe I'll run it like this:
Pump -> PA120.3 ->GPU -> PA120.2 -> CPU -> Reservoir -> Pump
Look good?

Order doesnt matter. Some reservoirs can make a noise/froth for a while if next to the pump, but other than that, just do it for the neatest/shortest/most convenient job possible.
I like to make it so that the cpu block comes off without having to remove the gpu and chipset block.

You do own an Eclipse though
yeah it looks like a PC case not a deformed turd!!
Now, now... the Eclipse looks more like the interior of an 80's Honda to me, but beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Some people think that Beyonce is fit.
it's a lot nicer in the flesh but it's certainly old skool..which makes it better imo
its got a sleeper quality about it..
Seen a few of them in Scan's ante-chamber and they aren't for me... then again most people think the Antec 900 is fugly but I love it. Sleeper quality?
Sleeper..It's a car term i suppose.
Like making a car that looks like a 1.2 with hubcaps do a quater mile in 13 seconds lol
Ah right, like that Lupo with the 2.9 engine.....I prefer more of a boy racer quality, Lancer Evo maybe, although I hate those Corsas that they spend thousands doing up even though its a one litre
I think I'll go with the Asus P5K3. It is quite nice.
I'm going to use the Swiftech MCP655 Pump., and the Apogee GTX CPU block, and a micro reservoir.
Dont forget youll need ddr3 for that, it doesnt accept ddr2.
Good pump, good block.

Matter of opinion really, personally i dont like it i was just looking at scans today only and it seemed pretty big.
I like simple understated shiney things
Also about the GTX, is there not a WC solution for ultra yet? i know its just come out...

I'm feeling kind of antsy about the first gen ddr3 stuff.
Nope. Not gonna go with P5K3. Maybe I'll get the P5K Deluxe instead. Stick with the safety
Plus this way I can start building soon. P5K3 will take a while to get released... Plus who knows when DDR3 will even be available... It will cost tons more money too. :O
