Default Asetek LCLC System

So, I was reading about this system in the HP Blackbird line of PC's called Asetek Low Cost Liquid Cooling (LCLC). I wanted to know what everyones thoughts are on it. It looks promising to me, for people not wanting to assemble their own water cooling system.

Here is the full review:

I dunno, looks kinda like a gimmick. I mean I can't understand why anyone other than an overclocker/enthusiast would need a water kit. And if you are an enthusiast, you probably know how to assemble and maintain a simple loop.

Not to mention it's temps look like they could be easily beaten by a good air cooler such as a TRUE.

It just seems like their target market are people who don't even know why they need watercooling, just "hey that looks pretty badass."

this is a typical case of "you get what you pay for". It'll probably do fine, but temps wont be ultra-awesome.
