Water Cooling Kit

[/dev/null]

Anyone know where I can get a cheap water cooling kit from? The reason being is that I like to overclock, however the temps on my system get very hot using standard fans.
I currently have an artic cooling heatsink and fan (xp3400 rated), 2 * 80mm fans at the front bring air in, 1 80mm side window fan taking air our and a rear 120mm fan taking air out. I have a fan controller but even when all are running at full speed, it still gets hot when I try and crank the processor up those extra few mhz!

I have a Athlon 2500xp barton processor and a asus motherboard. Both support 400mhz FSB. I have 512mb + 256mb pc3200 DDR Ram. I have clocked the processor to xp3200 speed (11 multiplier x 200mhz) however the multiplier can be increased further than this and after looking at the documentation for this processor it says that the maximum speed it will run at is 3000mhz.
When I was at 3200xp the idle temps were:
Windows: 45'c
Linux (CLI) 32'c, (X) 37'c

However once I start doing anything major then the temps fly up!! Plus it sounds like a bloody hurricane with all the fans goin full whack!

So - I'm looking at investing in a water cooling system... I know they don't come cheap, but I'm sure there is somewhere out there that sells em cheap in comparison to the average retail price!

Anyone offer any help?

I just got a kit from www.coolercases.co.uk very good kit and fast delivery etc.
If price is your main concern then ebay and stuff to get bits together.

Iv currently got my amd64 3500+ running stable at 2450 with me 6800GT clocked to 428 GPU and 1.14Ghz ram

What exactly fo you need?
I am so far aware of these:

Cooling block + mounts
Tubing
Pump
Radiator
Water Reservoir

What other stuff will I need?

[oE]

clips to hold the tubing on, water wetter or some other addatives for the water and some distilled water TAP WATER will **** up.

you should also check your psu has enough juice to power the pump / radiator fan and your pc if your gonna overclock it.

also make sure it will all fit in the case or you have somewhere outside to mount it all.

Hi
Cheers for the help!!
What kind of prices should I be looking at to pay for each of these bits? I ideally want a setup that will fit into a 5 1/2 bay, however I understand these are prolly more expensive!
Would it work out cheaper to just get a ready setup system?

Get a proper setup and have the resevior outside the case this way u wont spill any on ur pc when u refill

just out of curiousity, whats the cost of setting up a decent watercooling system. how many fans are still needed if your using WC? i presume you still have one on your PSU and one on the reservour?

hmm.. I may invest in a proper one then!

What are the approx critical temps for components anyway? Just my fan controller has temp probes on it which you can set to alarm if above a certain temp!
