Build it. Far more band for your buck. How much money did you spend on your water cooling rig? I want to water cool my duel gpu's but if its like $250 ill just spend that money on AR-15 stuff. |

It's gonna cost more than $250, especially if you want it done effectively. I built a rig with the new LGA 2011 i-7, and water cooled it along with a GTX 580. I posted some pictures in another thread a little while ago. I can tell you I spent ALOT more than $300 on fittings alone. They are Bitspower compressions fittings, but that's not a big issue. |

I want to water cool my duel gpu's but if its like $250 ill just spend that money on AR-15 stuff. $150, with a triple rad and 1L res. CPU only. To do dual GPU's would cost more mainly due to the cost of the water blocks for the cards. Those will run you $120 each. You don't need compression fittings which are stupid expensive. The barbs work fine and look fine if you do it right. Fun project and keeps the computer quite and cool.
