Default HD4870 Water Blocks

Anyone out there have a 4870 running water? Im about to buy my WC rig and was curious of any kits that come with a 4870 compatible block, if not where might a find a sub $100 block for my card? Is putting it on water better than air? Ect...

Thanks!

If you have a reference board, then you can't beat the Swiftech MCW-60. I have the Swiftech MCW-60 with Ramsinks. But that was before this came out:

Definitely worth it and you don't have to bother with the Ramsinks. My 4870 is OC'd and never gets over 40c - but that will depend on your rad and other components.

Unfortunately, the MCW60-4870 can't be found anywhere... I've been waiting for a store to have them in stock. My GTX360 is waiting
