Hi guys,

Recently I built my wife a PC, and thought I would use it to gain some experience in water cooling.

System Specifications:

Intel Celeron D 330 (This will overclock from 2.6GHz to 3.4GHz)
NVIDIA 7800GS
Kingston Hyper X PC4000 512MB Dual Channel Kit (2x256MB)
MSI 865PE Neo2 Platinum Motherboard
200GB SATA HDD
Tagan 580w PSU

I am interested in fitting this with a water cooling system, more for the sheer fun of it than anything else, but to learn how its done for future system builds.

As a complete noob to watercooling can anyone give me any advice, do's and don'ts, and tips on building and testing, and even finding a good budget kit.

Thanks

Spud :)
