What Parts to Cheap out on with a Custom Water Loop?

[huchick]

I'm looking to get a hardline water cooled system just for the CPU.
I want to get it reasonably cheap, but not over the top. I am willing to pay full price on a branded CPU block and fittings, but what is okay to get off ebay. I don't want $2 parts on there, but if I could get a water cooled system for around $200AUD ($170USD).

I found this pump/reservoir combo: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300mm-Cylinder-Water-Tank-SC... and I was not planning to have the res on top of the pump like in the picture.

Anyways, help me out here if possible because I'm sure there are lots of other people who want to know too. Please try to stick to Australian based sites, don't want to pay $40 for shipping from USA to Australia.
Thanks again

those fittings are totally fine - I use them in my build. they worked with acrylic tubes (test run) and doing perfectly fine with glass tubing.
the purpose of the edge sanding is:
1. remove anything that can cut the o-ring in fittings
2. clean the edge of anything that can get lose and travel on your loop.
so after cutting the tube, you sand (or whatever way you chose) both the inner and outer.

The ML fans are fine and way better than AF. though for that price i'd definitely go with the Noctua's NF-A15. probably would paint them (the frame) in black
