    Hi I just recently bought a water cooling setup and was wondering what the best and easiest liquid to use would be.

    Straight water with a small amount of antifreeze or some other additive to keep growth down.
    This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

    I used about an ounce of antifreeze in mine, just to keep stuff from growing.

    Man it'd be a dream to set up a watercooling system. I could get an SLK-900U with a Vantec Tornado.. and earplugs.

    whoaaaaa there

    use distilled water for a start, not water straight form the tap.
    distilled water contains less of the chemicals that corrode and tarnish waterblocks/clear tubing and is also not supposed to conduct electricity in case of spillage.

    add about 10% anti-freeze/coolant if you want, this can also help or for better results use "water wetter" or "purple ice" both additives that need only a small amount, probably not even 10%, they help keep the system cool and in better condition for longer.

    my system is watercooled:
