Over at XS I also said that I had an excess of money. I did, until I found out how much my books are going to cost me for school. Sets me back saome serious dough, as well peices. I dont think I will be able to affford my G Skill LA's now (I'm rather depressed about that, and they are all I want) and I cannot afford a $175 Iwaki anymore either. this is a huge dent in my plans.
I was a;ready set on the brass top TDX, the RBX just isnt worth buying the more powerful pump for. Like Nubius said, only about .5C decrease I will get. Simply not worth the extra money. I'm thinking the D5 pump than, un less I can maybe get an Iwaki for less than $175. I'll hunt around today. I'm going to go with a T line instead of a resevoir, money reasons and it looks cooler. But will not having a resevoir be detrimental? Instead of having one in the system as an active peice, would that be beneficial? Or does it not matter? I guess it would only be another erestriction, but it is also another place for the watrer to swirl around and dissipate some heat. I found a really cool resevoirs that goes in place of your side case Window. Be nice, lots of surface area be good for cooling off the water a little bit. Every little bit counts.
So now I feel I am going to settle with the OCZ Plat Rewv 2's, and the D5 pump. Thats depressing, I really wanted those other peices. Who knows, there may be hope for me yet...
