Custom loop help!

[joelthezombie15]

I'm thinking of doing a custom loop and im wondering how much it will cost USD.

 

Needs/Info:

 

I have a NZXT phantom so what ever size rad i would need/where  could i put the rad.

 

Cpu cooling

 

1 GPU/ 2 later.

 

red or white fluid. 

 

i really like the look of the acrlyic hard tubes if they arent to much harder to do.

 

T-virus Res

 

where do i buy all this stuff?

 

I think that is it.

 

how much (roughly) will this cost?

 

also i have a 1200W PSU is that enough with sli?

 

thanks i will add anything if i think of it hope this is doable.

Visit www.aquatuning.com it will be VERY expensive if you want all that stuff. Estimated ~ 700$. 1200W are enough for two Mars IIs, so don't worry

what about cutting out the acrilyc?

xD I've seen much over time .. bend tubes etc .. but with acrilyc? I would stay with tubing and try to use straight routes and hard tubing.

For the US, go to frozencpu.com or performance-pcs.com - they have excellent selection. For your first build DO NOT use acrylic tubing, otherwise known as crystal link, for anything other then say the pre-cut for an sli/xfire bridge. It is a very difficult material to properly work with, cuts have to be perfect and prone to leaks. Stick with tubing and make your runs neat and tidy.

 

Initial costs on a good quality custom loop? Can very. Frozencpu have some nice starter kits, 360mm rad - in about $350... if you are looking to add GPU, t-virus, etc, of course costs go up. PLan on $500 to start. My first build with dual rad, xfire setup came in around $700.

My single GTX 680 - 3930K setup with casemodding was @ ~1300€
