I am guessing water cooling kits, as he posted in this subforum. He must have just forgotten to specify.

As for complete kits I have heard only bad things, perhaps post here asking which individual parts you should buy and piece together your own system. From past reads it ends up being cheaper and more efficient. When I get into watercooling that is my plan, anyway.

there are no good kits for $200 unless u go with this but even then it's still a sacrifice.

http://www.swiftnets.com/products/h20-220-compact.asp

both these kits will do better when they are upgraded.

Keep away from Thermaltake. I know its an old chestnut to knock them ... But they are junk. They are predictably rubbish. Many people on this board have commented about the ways in which a Thermaltake will fail. They are right.

Just before christmas I bought a Thermaltake case that came with water cooling system inside. So I came to this section to see what the score is with Thermaltake. It looked grim, way grim. I noticed about 5 different people say the coolant reservoir cracks after 3 months ... well 3 months - virtually - to the day ... IT CRACKED! Green fluid everywhere.

When a product is so accurately predicted to fail you, and does ... you wish the voice inside that said: "oh lets give it a try" had kept quiet.

Its really not worth the potential expensive risks. Luckily I was ok and nothing went bang.

Thermaltake sux arse.
