none of it is really hard to install. sometimes you have to fab a bracket or 2 to mount the rad, but it is mostly just cutting and hooking up tubing.

what i am trying to point out is that you shouldnt pick a kit that is just easy to install because most prebuitl kits basically suck. you are better off picking out your components and building the kit

Hi Shroom,

But custom cost more right? ;o

Those prebuilt WC systems have a bad habit of either leaking or corroding is what I kept reading when I was looking for the easiest setup. Seriously, build your own setup with parts recommended here and at xstremesystems. You'll have less of a headache in the end.

But you get the performance you're looking for that's superior to high end air cooling. Water cooling systems don't really come into their own until you surpass the ~$200US mark. Below that you're gambling with the life of your computer (leaks, pump deaths, etc.)

Also, kit or not, you'll still have to assemble, fill and bleed the loop. So just get the components that will do the job right, as opposed to getting the cheapest you can find
