Danger Den probably are the best blocks you can buy. Swiftech pumps are your best bet I would say. They have make good all around water parts and make nice kits. You would want a 1/2 system aswell. Hardware labs make really good raditators.

As a kit the Swiftech Antarctica L30 is one of the best... But you'll still be better off ordering your stuff though dangerden as those are, ehh, custom kits. lol. Heatercores are said to own radiators, but I use a BIXII myself and I can run passively.

what do you want to accomplish with your water cooling?

AsphyxiA · Oct 3, 2005

The Swiftech Storm seems to be the best lately, though Danger Den has great offers too...

turbopsi · Oct 4, 2005

Koolance setups aren't nowhere near as good as custom 1/2 id setups.

There is Asetek watercooling kits on that website, and they do make some of the best kits.
