So I am thinking of turning my rig into a watercooled system. I have done some looking around, but most of the stuff seemed like it was for full sized cases. I have a mid sized case, but have some room.

Anyone have some preferences on watercooling goods?

I had my case open the other day, had to reset the cmos to defaults, and noticed my vid card was pretty warm, especially for not even gaming, juse some desktop stuff. It was around 65C and another thing I noticed, it didn't seem like the fan was blowing much air out the back (card exhausts out the back of the case).

Anyways, I have always wanted to try it, and think it looks pretty neat, with some lights, ect. Got any sites that sell this stuff?

I dabbled with water cooling a few years ago. I used a koolance cooling system.

With all the testing and playing with it I found no matter how hard I pushed the system it maintained a steady temp 40c. (@ that time I was using a AMD 2800)
The system was not any more quite than any other case I owned. You need to do some maintenance on the coolant. If your pump fails your rig is down till you fix it or pop a cooler on the cpu. The system you purchase should be equip with a emergency shutdown circuit. There is a ton of new cooling systems out there now. Do your home work as not to spend more than you need to achieve your needs. (don’t waste your money) Heres a head start.
