Default Anyone have Petra'sTech CoolKit Lite - Rev.2

Well I'm wondering if anyone has the Petra'sTech CoolKit Lite - Rev.2 WC kit? IF so I was wondering if I could see your pictures and ask how hard/simple the kit is to install and to get running properly?

I just ordered this kit with the dual 120mm fans (pro ice II rad) so I'm curious what to expect now. I know it's a lower end kit and not flash like most kits, but still curious none the less. And most of all hoping the install is easy since I'm basically retarded when it comes to doing anything technical.

Watercooling is pretty straightforward to install; important thing is that the T-Line must be just before the pump inlet. AFAIK Petra's also includes an install guide with their kits

As for pictures, just look at the pics of any WC rig, installation is virtually the same no matter which exact components are used, only differences ar tubing length and component placement based on case design.

It's not really in that sense a lower end kit; it includes quality components, only thing is the pump will probably only handle CPU + GPU (no dual GFX) cooling.

To me, low-end (cheap-ass) kits are those from the likes of ThermalTake, Koolance, etc.

Well I'm sort of wondering where a radiator big enough for two 120mm fans is going to mount?

If the site wasn't slow right now I'd search the thread for pics of WC rigs. Been trying for about 45 mins and haven't gotten very far keeps loading slowly.

If your case is big enough, you can probably mount it internally, but more than likely you'll have to use a radbox and mount it to the rear or top of your case and cut holes for the in/out tubes.

The light kit can optionally be configured with a 240mm radiator (check out the pull-down menus).
