ThermalTake watercooling and lights

[Mikegrif]

How is the http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...factory=BROWSE at watercooling? I was going to get that just to overclock a little(how far could I overclock a athlon 64 3000+ with it?) And what can I put in the liquid to make it glow like in that half life mod?

UV reacitve fluid can be used to make the fluid glow (if you use clear pipes), you'd also need to fit a UV CC tube.

Anyway, below is a link to a UK water cooling site (just as an example) showing some fluid dyes available:

I would actually recommend one of the swiftech kits. I hear they perform a bit better than the thermaltake kits.
It really is much better to piece together your own water cooling parts though. If you want I could help you select parts.

This kit is fairly good for an assembled kit:

buying a water cooling kit is like buying a proprietary computer. Not very good for upgrading and usually low performance parts. With the swiftech kit, the supplied pump, most would say, is the best pump on the market for a water cooling setup but the radiator isnt very good. So its better to piece together your own.

The AQII is aimed more at people who want a quieter computer, rather than an overclocking beast. Its very quiet, but temps remian more or less very close to what they would've been on a stock cooler.

If you have a mid tower, get the aquarius 3 system as it is external. You need to use distilled water in your system to protect components in case of a leak. I would run the system outside the case on some paper towels for 24 hours to check for leaks.
