    Hi Prime, yeah thanks for that I bought that monitor coz you could wall mount it straight out of the box & it had dual inputs (dvi & analogue). Cost a lot of £'s but worth every penny for space it saves & thats a premium in my small flat. Its a Samsung SyncMaster 172T by the way.

    As for kinks (no not that kind :) ) yeah there were a couple of flat spots which I I've sorted with clips.

    There seems to be less air in the lines this morning but there is a kind or vortex or whirlpool effect going on in one of the lines from the northbridge block that seems to be causing a few bubbles And also where the water enters the res the force of the flow causes the water to bubble at the top of the res.

    Top of da morning Jim!

    It took almost 3 days for my pump to became quiet and for all the air to get up in the bleed. I'm going to add some Zerex today.

    Hey Jim, how much did this all cost and where did you get it all from?

    NS, lots mate, lots.

    The original budget was £150 and I think I've spent nearly £200 but I have a few spares left over like a Hydor L30 pump & and a black ice 80mm rad.

    So I could sell them and get back on budget and I'd have got a 3 block set up for around £150 which ain't to bad I reckon.

    Just looked at temps again and the cpu, after heavy load of Halo, is sat rock solid at 34c, case temps is 31c, I love it.

    Depends on how easy it was and how much it would cost.

    I always worried about it being lots of effort and having to cut lots of things up (which I always manage to screw up, regardless of how easy).

    Its not hard NS, this is my first attempt. I had it a bit easy in that I got a huge case and somebody has already been hacking at it (very badly I may add so I'll be cleaning it up.)

    If I were starting out again I'd try and by a second hand set up off someone for £150, as long as the parts are good. Mine's a mixture of second hand & very cheap new.
