i think i've come up with a really good water cooling setup for my pc, but i'd like to get some opinions before i fork out almost $700 for it. i can't seem to save my cart, so i'll just list everything below. also, please let me know if i missed anything. i want to set this up as soon as i get it, not wait around for something else to come that i forgot to order.

all koolance parts (right from their website):http://www.koolance.com/default.php

pump ------ PMP-450
rad -------- EHX-1020BK 3 fan
res -------- TNK-80 w/ BKT-TK80 bracket
cpu block -- CPU-340
vga block -- VID-282 (x2)
flow meter - INS-FM16
tubing ----- HOS-AP013P (6ft) w/ VLV-13TSPL drain valve
nozzles ---- NZL-V13KG (x12)
coolant ---- LIQ-702GN-B
and of course the STK-MIS002P koolance case badge, lol

this will all be installed in the rocketfish full tower case i just got. i just want to make sure i'm not missing anything. i plan to add chipset and ram cooling later, possibly even hd cooling too, closer to xmas. opinions?
 
Is there a reason you are going with Koolance only? Swiftech probably makes the best pumps, the MCP655 is very popular. I also love the reviews of the Apogee GTZ waterblock which is supposedly one of the best for the LGA775 platform currently out.
 
check out petrastechshop.com performance-pcs.com frozencpu.com and xoxide.com, they all have a much broader spectrum of parts available, i would say either the dtek v2 cpu block, or the apogee gtz, someone tested them, and there was only a 1-2*C differance between the two of them
 
the only reason i was going with all koolance was because all those other sites seem to have something out of stock, keeping me from getting everything i needed all in one order. i guess i'll just have to place multiple orders. i do like the gtz cpu block better than any other one i've seen so far. i think i'll go with the koolance video coolers though, i like how they're slimline, and how 2 of them connect to each other with that metal tube instead of rubber tubing. it looks very strong. i'd like to try to keep the price as low as i can, the koolance setup was almost $700, i'd like to keep it under $600 if possible. can someone recommend a setup like that?

edit: ok, i think i'm going to go with the koolance setup above, but use the swiftech pump and gtz cpu waterblock instead of the koolance ones. what do you think?
