Default Would this be a good start???

I really want to get into water cooling but I will have to do it over time and on a budget. I was thinking about THIS for a start and picking up the rest of the parts separately. Opinions please!

Edit: this would only be a CPU loop at first.

I am an air cooler myself but I would say sticking with an all custom WC'ing setup would be the best way to go. I have heard some of these "kits" such as the TT Bigwater are crap just as good as a good air cooler (but a lot more work). I would consider buying parts from the For Sale section of the forums, there are a lot of very nice things on sale from good people there!

Edit: The only things you may not find are tubing and the liquid itself (which are easy to find online)

This isn't a complete system though. This is just the pump and res with some bells and whistles. The rest would be good parts from good makes.

Those pumps just really suck, they are a low head pump and very much prone to dieing...I'd just wait and get a good pump to start with, this is good one..D-5..Like he was saying you can save some $$$ by buying used parts..
