would $100 be enough money to get my self a good water cooling?
i live in canada by the way, can't order anything from new eggs.
 
USD or CAN?

Now that I think of it, either way, probably not, unless you got some really really good deals. You are probably only going to find budget parts or kits for that.
 
oh ic, can $100 i meant,
um, my friend wrote in one of my posts that $100 would not be enough for a proper water cooling.
i just wanted to confirm and see if there are any for cheaper price

and... what about the water cooling kits that only cools the cpu? it seemed fairly cheap.

Kits are generally not going to give you the same performance of making our own with some nice parts, say Danger Den or something. If you look, you can find some good kits, however, probably not for as cheap as 200CAN though.
 
oh, thats sad,
if i were to "make" my own water cooling,
how do i start doing that?
i have no idea how the water cooling works...
 
You have to get the following:
-Water Blocks for what ever you want to cool (ie CPU, GPU, etc.)
-Pump
-Resivor
-Radiator
-Tubing
-Coolant

Danger Den parts arnt very cheap. The one I built out of Danger Den parts came out to about $620.00 (USD).
 
y do you want water cooling?...its already cold up there in Canada...and a good water cooling is expensive. if you go cheap, your just taking a huge risk that it might leak and ruin your whole system...plus if you have water cooling you have to miantain it..by checking for leaks once in a while and replacing/refilling the water, ever so often.
 
Mr. Suave has a very valid point, I would recommend a good air cooling setup, that can get you temps as good as water with lots less mantainance.
 
Water cooling is very expensive, the cheapest kit i've seen was around $135 USD, and it was only for the CPU and GPU.

maintenance is not that hard to do.....thats part of it, even your whole system needs maintenace, right?:)
 
You can get a complete kit for 100$ US money, it wont be a huge great one, but a semi-decent one.

And the only way its going to break open and ruin your system is if your Stupid, or DUMB, pip's need to be properly seal'ed in proper envirornment's.

As lopng as installed correctly, you have a risk as big as your fan stopping and your CPu overheating,...

Cold up here in Canada? We live in Toronto which is practically further into the USA than New york city is. Our climate is just like chicago or michigan.
