    considering water cooling...

    Ok, this is the first time i've ever considered water cooling to actually get my computer temps back down to a reasonable place. Both HD's are hot (as in cook and egg hot) to the touch, same goes for my 8800GTS 640mb vid card, cup is fairly cool, but if i'm gonna go water cooling, should probably cool that as well. In any case, before I dive into this, i want to make sure i've got everything I need, here is a pricelist from danger den of all of the parts i'm considering.

      It's $150 more then I want to spend total, I will be getting it at a later time. Still need to make sure that this will work properly and that everything listed above is all that I need.
