Default Special Deal Kit worth it?
Does this look worthy?

http://www.dangerden.com/store/produ...&cat=69&page=1

Or should I just buy seperate parts?

What about the Thermaltake bigwater?

That definately looks worth it, and I think that would easily be as good as or maybe even better than the TT Bigwater.

That kit isn't bad; however there's not much room for expansion unless you replace the pump and radiator. Petra's Tech Shop also sells some kits (they put together from quality components) for less than what DangerDen is charging.

The Thermaltake, koolance, and most other cheap kits aren't worth it due to poor performance; The only brands I'll buy are: DangerDen, Swiftech, EK-Waterblocks, D-Tek, Thermochill, Hardware Labs, and LIANG.

tbh, this kit is more of a learning experience for me, and how to watercool. I see this as more of a fun thing and bragging rights to make my e-penis bigger. The good cooling is just a side-effect.

not really any better imo. if you dont have the money for a decent setup i would just go high end air cooling. i would say this is the kit to go for if you can http://www.petrastechshop.com/pecoba.html

The Petra's Tech lite kit is only better than the DangerDen kit as far as price is concerned, but performancewise they're about equal.

The basic Petra's tech kit is really a better choice; the pump is excellent and can handle just about anything and the 240mm radiator also has enough headroom to add a GPU waterblock to the loop.
