for now a self contained system sounds good. Just cause im a network engineer and never home so I dont want something super high end that I wont enjoy.... _________________ Antec Nine Hundred case - COOLER MASTER Pro1000w

I wouldn't bother with a kit though, I think with cooling that much you'll want to look for waterblocks that are less restrictive.
It also begs the question, do you have room for a triple fan radiator? Wanting to mount it internally or externally? |
Thats what I was thinking, I was thinking water blocks would be the way to go. Especially in my case, which I am looking for a replacement the Antec nine hundred is way too small.
Thanks for all the info.... Helped a lot _________________ Antec Nine Hundred case - COOLER MASTER Pro1000w
