I want to go water cooling my case is a Cooler Master HAF X Nvidia Edition. I am running 3 X GTX 470's and I want my cpu and all 3 gpu's under water if I can. I would like a self contained system meaning everything inside the case if not I would prolly like to make an external box. I have built computers for 12 years but I have never done any water cooling setups. So I am looking for the best components pump and radiator I can getwith enough heat dissapation for this system and also what fittings and tubing I should use. Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.

you need atleast ( my guess) a 360+240 rad to cool that hardware
for a pump a D5 would be enough
tubing and fitting is personal choice
make sure to check if your cards a reference design (or not) so that the blocks will fit

check for compatibility here http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

for galery idea's etc. visit http://www.highflow.nl (go to forum) (dutch site btw)
