Last year i was going to get a water cooling kit, but instead from what i understand it's alot cheaper to create your own, but there is something that has alway's confused me, it's the whole G1/4 thing, basically what i'm asking is, can anyone give me a link to a good tutorial site, that explain's the in's an out's to putting together a complete water cooling solution, i'm on an AM2 motherboard, spec's are in sig,

Thank you for any help, much appreciated.

I have the same prob, not getting the 1/4 etc etc, so I bought a kit in the end. But this German shop basically put pretty good stuff together and sells it as a kit. So its not all from one brand, but rather what these guys think is the best etc etc.
LINK TO AM2 KIT In German sorry (its the same kit I have but i got the one for Intel 775), that stuff is pretty good. I also would like to have a clear explanation as to the tubing sizes and fittings etc. If anyone knows and could explain this in a 'simple' way, i would appreciate it very much!.

G1/4 refers to the size of the thread, more specifically, the pitch. Only thing to be borne in mind is that the barb and the receiver (pump, block, etc) both be of the same thread pitch. Thread might all look the same and people might be tempted to screw in incompatible threads together thinking it will make a tighter seal but the opposite is true.
