For my next build I'm thinking I want to water cool it so I can over clock without worry of overheating. I will be using a Phenom II X4 AM3 processor or an I7, I haven't totally decided, the AMD is winning my mind game right now though.
Anyway, I can't seem to find an external water cooling system that is any good. I like the Aquaduct 360 XT mark III, but can't find it anywhere in the US to buy. I do know that I want an external radiator/reservoir. Anyone have any suggestions, don't worry about price at the moment, I just want to know what I can get. I've checked all the resellers in the sticky at the top and Newegg.com. I've also done a google search which gave be back what I already have looked at. I'm also open to building up a water system on my own if that is the way to go. Thanks.

I've been using their products for a few years and have been quite happy with the performance. check my system specs and you can see what the system I've linked to can do !

That is a nice unit. What size of tubing do you use? Are you just cooling your CPU with it? Where does it sit? On top of the case? Many cases have fans on the top, mine included.

I'm using 3/8" ID tubing, but that system will handle 1/2" also. Yes it does sit on top of the case but if you put 1/2" to 3/4" rubber feet on the bottom of it there is more than enough clearance for airflow, I have 3/4" feet on mine!
Yes I'm just cooling my CPU, my Video card( ATI 4870) doesn't get that hot and it blows the hot air out the back.
Check this one out. The pump and water block are pretty much the best. The pump is the same as the Lang d5 and I also recommend 7/16 tubing. The pump is good for running extra blocks later.
You can get the set or just the parts you need/want from local vendors crazypc etc.
I don't use a reservoir, rad box, twisty things etc. Also I just use water wetter with distilled water for coolant.
That should give you a good idea of where to start for a good custom system.
