Default Watercooled case

http://www.xoxide.com/koolance-pc3-736bk.html

Good idea? Bad idea? (Find it cheaper elsewhere?) I will either be buying one of these, or just a Lian Li Full Tower case and add in my own watercooling components.

My question is...how good of a cooling system is the one planted on top of this thing? Sure looks purdy, does it perform as good as it looks, and do they run quiet?


Would I be better off with a Lian Li, http://www.xoxide.com/koolance-rp-1000bk.html, and a beeft radiator?

Bad idea. Just get a lian li and do it yourself. Have fun with it. If you check my sig. I have built a comparable (albeit much better) watercooling setup with a lian li (inverted) case.

Another word of advice, stay AWAY from koolance and kits in general. Stick with Danger den/swiftech/custom parts.

I too initially wanted one of those koolance pre made kits, but decided to go custom.

I would recommend starting off with a Swiftech H20-220 Kit for a cpu only solution.

Yeah custom will do a lot better then one of those..They use aluminum rads on most of their stuff to which is bad it can and will cause galvanic corrosion.....
