I'm a watercooling n00b, but have quite a lot of experience putting my computers together. I have tolerated my really noisy case fans and am frankly getting a bit fed up with them. I want to move towards quiet cooling for my own sanity, and watercooling in particular because I've had a devil of a time with heat ever since I put my FX-53 and x800 together with stock cooling. Temps are "okay," but still a bit higher than I like, and when the video card works overtime, I can occasionally get heat shut downs. This concerns me.

I'm posting in here because I have read the thread, but honestly a lot of it went over my head. Basically what I would like is a list of what equipment speedfreak finally ended up using all here in one thread. That way I can use it as a basis for what I want to obtain. Is that okay?
