Thats a sweet setup...
Sweet enought to be driven to go liquid myself.
Unfortunately I have never done liquid cooling before. Am I better off just buying a combo setup; or should I peice it together. Could folks please suggest a shopping list. My budget is $3-400. I have xtra/emptry drive bays. I would like to minimize external modules in size, number.... thanks guys.

I have the following parts in my rig:

Storm - $80
Tyee - $125 + extras
MCR320 - $50
Laing D5 Pump (MCP-655 or Danger Den D5) - $80
Fans
Tubing
Clamps
T-line/fillport - $15

That would put you in under the $400 mark. With the rad being cooled with three Yate Loon DSL12's I get about 28C idle and 38C load (OC'ed to 2.8GHz & 1.4v, 72F ambient). For results on the Tyee you can read the review I did here. I like buying the pieces because the kits always have at least one piece I don't agree with or want (rad size, CPU block, etc).
