I don't know how to do do thumbnails, how come this forum doesnw;t have an auto resizer like Bit-Tech or Overclock3d?

No worries 
one last question though and I will leave you alone! How easy was it to mount your gpu block? And did you just follow the instructions that came with it?
Thanks

It was very easy
And yes

When you put the standoffs on the block, I found it easier to put the card onto the block. That way you don't waste thermal paste and the card is much lighter than the block so it is easier.
Make sure you have a decent set of screwdrivers aswell

I think because I've never really used or even seen a watercooling system outside of pictures. I'd prefer to get a kit. Just so I can build it up and watch it running and working as it should.
Maybe then, I can look into customizing the kit. But for my first attempt, I'd like a paint by numbers kit
my first attempt was also fully custom
Go for it!

Thread updated with links, pics, and reformatting
looks good. Sorted ur iphone screen yet?
I have indeed got a new one for free, basically just walked in there with my friend Erika, we both complained about it, they said 140 quid, we went off on one, and then they said as a one off they could give me a new one for free

So you walk into a shop, throw a tantrum and walk away with an iPhone?
Tell me more...

Think it had a lot to do with Erika saying how cheap her blackberry would be to replace in comparison. Was an epic win though

Lucky ****!
I'm getting a blackberry and taking a friend and all of a sudden I will leave with an iPhone.
Only if the screen is cracked

Thanks for the guide - just what I was looking for.
I'm looking to go WC at the end of Aug. Currently have a Corsair H70 cooling the CPU which *seems* to be doing a decent job. It's the 480gtx which is causing me problems.
My PC is stuck on the floor in a corner (missus' decree) so I don't think it's getting enough cool air into it. With our odd spat of hot weather recently in the south, the gpu fan went nuts - rpm'd its nuts off. So i want to go WC.
My question is - given the guide posted in the OP, it means only specific gpu blocks or a cover plate. But what about the 580 'hydro' cards with the plate already built into it? Is that sufficient or should I not even consider them? (Complete WC noob here).

Firstly, make sure you do loads and loads of reading
by plate, I assume you mean block? Some cards have blocks already fitted to them but they cost a LOT so it's much cheaper doing it yourself. you need to make sure your graphics card is a reference design card. If it is, then you can buy a full cover GTX 480 block.
@Cleeecooo
Yeah - i noticed the cost of the pre-fitted wc blocks were substantially higher. Thing is, I'd very much like to get a new card in prep for BF3 *and* WC it. So not sure whether to wait to see what cards come out in September, if any, or spend the time and WC my current 480.
Something tells me it'd be wiser to WC a 580....
