If you've ever considered getting into water cooling, and are looking to dip your toe in to see what it's all about, then this thread might be for you. Experienced users may also find something of use in here or come across that missing piece to complete their build, however the large purpose of this sale is to get someone up and running with a full custom loop, and cheaply (as there are enough parts to do this twice over). If you're in Durban, then you get a free consult with setup advice :D

There are lots of parts, and so this might get confusing for inexperienced users (especially concerning fittings and their tubing sizes). I'm going to list everything separately, but will also add build options at the end, so you know what works with what). Each item will be listed with a unique name in [], which will be referenced in bundles, and will have the same names in the pictures.

First things first, let's get the basics out of the way:

Items: All WC items
Age: 4 years or older
Warranty: No
Location: Durban
Reason: Not in use
Shipping: Yes, buyer's cost.
Collection: Sure

Bundle buyers get preference. Splitting at my discretion. Items are priced cheaply, however bundle buyers get additional discounts:

Spend R600+, get R100 off.
Spend R1000+, get R200 off.
Spend R2500+, get R500 off.

NB: Everything is G1/4 thread in this sale and is thus compatible with each other. Don't mistake thread compatibility with tubing size and fitting size compatibility.

Images are on Google Drive, as the upload limit is 10 per post on here: Pictures

I'm such a watercooling noob wouldn't know where to start with this stuff, all I hear is that a D5 pump is good and bla bla bla this and bla bla bla that lol. Good on you for making these affordable bundles GLWS ;)
 
Hey guys, just a reminder to anyone reading this thread. Whilst interest has been shown for quite a few items, bundle buyers do get preference as mentioned. I am holding off on fragmenting the sale just yet, to see if anyone comes forward wanting a number of items. I will assess all interest on Friday, and dibs order will go based on size of bundle (more items = higher up in the line).
 
Hi Holywraith, I am based in Durban and would be interested in getting an entire setup. Would also like to take you up on the consult! (Beer, Tea or Coffee (or all 3)and snacks will be on offer). I was thinking one of the R200 radiators, the XSPC black Chrome fittings (R250), the XSPC Dual Bay pump & res (400) and the XSPC Rasa cpu block (250).

Will drop you a pm too.
 
Thank you for all the interest guys (it's been difficult keeping up with PMs!). As mentioned bundle buyers were given preference. Post has been updated with a number of items that have been sold, and a few more that are on hold for another bundle.
 
May be worth mentioning the brackets for the CPU coolers.

Cheers bud. The links do have them, but here it is for anyone interested:

Raystorm: Supplied: 1150/1156/1155, and 1366 | Possible: 2011 and 2011-3
Rasa: Supplied: 775, 1156, and 1366 | Possible: 2011
 
Most items now gone. Remaining items:

Radeon R9 290 (Club 3D) with full cover EK Waterblock and Backplate - R2k

[XSPC Black Chrome Barb] x9 + [Koolance Clamp Nickel] x10
[Koolance 90 Nickel] x2
Take all of these fittings for R250 (can complete a loop with these fittings)
