Need Water Cooling....

I want to experiment with some water cooling on a P4 541 3.2Ghz, I also want to cool the gfx card, an X1300PRO PCI-e. I am new to water cooling and that's why I am using this (old)experimental computer. I am buying a P35-DS3L to OC on, I just want to play around, seeing how far I can OC. I just need help finding the necessary materials, reservoir, pump, blocks, radiator etc. I do not prefer a kit, as I want to do it myself, so I can tweak things. Can anyone help out here?

EDIT: My budget is ~$150

Thanks

if you new you could us ea non-conductive collant like fluid XP or mct-5/mct-40
150 is not enough for a watercooling system that will be better then air cooling but as you get up to 260$ + the benefits are exponential
 
What if I told you that you could get sub-ambient temps with water cooling and really cheap too

I'd be likely to suggest that you would have condensation on the inside of your case, and could very likely start frying components over time.

You can get condensation even approaching ambient temp...nontheless getting sub-ambient.

Honestly I'd say it would be a really cheap way to screw up your pc. Spend the extra money and get a decent watercooling kit/setup. Its cheaper when you consider the alternatives.

I know all that, that is why you have to insulate the mobo or lower the fan speed
 
did someone say subambient?

dew is a non-issue.

pcb-based electronics are suprisingly unaffected by moisture, or even direct water contact.
 
is that a mach II?
your so lucky!!!
pre-built phase change units are to rich for my blood
what king of overclocks are your getting with that
