Sealed water cooled setup?

Thread Starter 
I see the advantage of a H series and the like, but how come all home built systems are not sealed?

It may be more work, but wouldn't the advantage out-weight the benefits?

From what I understand, I can solder copper tubing, attach it to water block, pump, radiator, and res with fittings, fill, seal, and never have to touch it again?

Is there a flaw in this logic?

Simply put? People change parts. They also change cases. It's much nicer to be able to pick up what you've got and move it into a new case and put everything in and just buy some new tubing as opposed to your method.
