Hey Guys,

So im going to water cool my computer and i need help on what parts i should get and stuff. Im not sure as i havent water cooled before. I live in Australia so please link me Aussie stores only. 

I want a pump/reservoir combo which can slip into a two slot drive bay as it'll be easier to access along with all the other screws and stuff. im clueless like a penguin in a desert.... I want to it match the rest of my build which is blue. I want to water cool my cpu and gpu. No need for fans.

My budget would be about $400-$459 aud

The XSPC Dual Bay Reservoir was the only one pump/reservoir combo I could find on PCCG : 

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_299&products_id=14352  <--- Does not include a pump, but can support a pump.

You can stick some blue LED's in there for colour matching.

 

Have fun building your loop!

 

EDIT: Found two more. One is dual pump, and the other is single:

Single: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_296&products_id=21957

Sorry for the convoluted speech pattern.

You do realize that the first link you put up does not include a pump right?

Ok, i was just wondering.

 

Regarding your radiator configuration, i know you said you want a 360mm on top but i know you would get better performance by using three of these.....http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_297_922&products_id=25479 one for the top, bottom and front.
