Well, Im having a very very difficult time deciding here and its just aggrivating the hell out of me.
The apex looks like a great kit. The dual 120mm radiator, the apogee, everything included in a nice little package with a warranty and manual. But Im having a hard time figuring out how I can route the tubes if I mount the radiator externally. I do not want to put in any holes or cut up my case one bit. All I can think of is mounting the radiator upside down so that the barbs are closer to my PCI slots and I could possibly get the tubes through a card slot and up to the radiator, but Im just not sure if it will fit and I dont want to guess.
As for the DIY... this is what I had in mind:
Difference here is its only a single 120mm radiator so that I can fit it internally of my mid-tower. I think maybe I could replace the TDX with an apogee waterblock. The only thing holding me back from going with DIY is that the apex will clearly perform better with the dual 120mm radiator. That and DIY doesnt come with a manual, so Im all on my own. But I should be fine installing for the most part anyways.
So please... help me decide. What should I do?
