how much does your cooling system cost approximately Lawn? and how about a parts list thats needed for a basic setup? Thinking on doing a couple things to my case, such as painting my interior silver and maybe putting on a window in place of that monster fan and the mesh on it.

If you are looking at doing a window for the left side .... they make one already ..

As for the water cooling I have the Swiftech H20-220 water kit.

Everything is included and easy to install. The only thing I changed was the reservoir I had, I got this instead..

What chipset is the CPU cooler for? and what are you getting for temps?

[ebfd11]

I have the i5 2600k and I am getting temps around 30* Celsius. The cooler is good for the 1155 and 1156 chipsets, and the 775 if I remember.

alright, thank you. i didnt look at the exact specs of the tubing, and dont have time. how much tubing does it with approx? and whats the inner and outer diamters of it? gonna have to get a seperate cooler for the cpu (1366 socket).

[guncrasher]

That cooling is for the cpu.

I have a 1366 socket, that CPU plate is gonna fit the holes in my board, correct?

[guncrasher]

it says it fits all current intel processors.  but doesnt give a list.

I have this cooler while it uses air still keeps my cpu around 50 even at full speed.  at idle around 35.

For a while I Was looking at that cooler, but then I did my research on water cooling, and if done right it looks more aesthetically pleasing. on top of extra performance that is.

[guncrasher]

performance as in will make your puter run faster? no, unless you live in some really hot place with no ac.     but it does look cool  .

You really spend alot of time looking at the inside of your box?

Nuth'n personal I just never understood the whole window to the inside of the case.
I care that ti works and works well. Moreso tha tthe layout and components are functional rather then how aesthetically pleasing they look.
My case sits under my desk when 90% of the time I never even look at the front let alone the inside.
And if i were to set it up so I could see in sinde of itat a glance even. It would be in the way. Or I'd have to put it in such a place that I'd much rather store something else.

It's kindda like being single and yet everyday you put on some cool underwear.  it doesnt really help you the way you look but it does make you feel better.

by performance I meant temps. although, I coulda said that instead  

one other question, when I do the watercooling (if I do) would I have any reason to keep excess fans on my system? may be a stupid question, but it's one of those questions I debate over.

[guncrasher]

The water cooling only helps your cpu. Fans are needed to blow air out of due to rest of components.   Your gpu produces a lot of heat.

Unless you water cool also your gpu and ram and harddrives.
