does Wik still import from PPC?
edit: what about the Koolance Exos EXT-A03? any good? i could get 2nd hand from SS...
and what about putting together custom WC? how much would that cost for a decent setup for cpu, gpu & chipset(maybe not chipset(..

Putting together your own kit (which is really what you SHOULD do when going WC) will cost you closer to 3.5K.
Importing a kit will also work out to something like that. And just stay away from Koolance. While their kits don't SUCK, they're nothing to write home about.
Unfortunately you're screwed for now. For 2K you won't find anything

That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.
Well , i rate its a kombination of those factors. Most likely the fittings support a thinnier than 7/16 pipe. Which reduces flow .

Deppens if the fittings would allow it, but im no pro . dae is the man here.
See , you can up the size only if the fitting is big enough so as not to leak.

unless it's second hand, and at the moment, all (or most of) the 2nd hand stuff that is decent is being usedDAE_JA_VOO wrote:Nowhere. You can't get stuff like that in SAdouglash wrote:ok, next question:
where in SA is about the best to get Rads, Res's, piping, barbs, blocks, etc. from?
I actually have some stuff...but with the R/$ rate and importing etc, I'm not gonna let it go easily
