South Africa? That sounds like a very dry climate to me. And that means a bong cooler would work well for him
Bongs ftw!

Yes? lol j/k

No OP stay away from those kits. Do some research and prepare to spend some cash if you want to get good watercooling. Otherwise get a TRUE and lap it. A leak on your mobo is not something you want to experience. Atleast with contaminated(well used) water. And the risk of a leak is alot bigger if you use a budget loop.

Thermaltake doesn't insist on selling kits where nobody else can sell. Anyone can sell to anywhere that will allow their products. For a lot of countries, the cost of importing high end computing components outweighs the revenue that can be gotten. It's purely a business strategy. Most companies realize there is little to no market for their quality components worldwide, so they sell to their target market (mostly the US and Europe). However in other countries, where import taxes are high, the demand is lower, it's not worth it to a lot of companies.

This is where DIY comes in. A bong is a diy solution that works very well. So is a heater core. Aquarium pumps work well and both pumps and heater cores for automobiles are available world wide. Pipe and shower heads to make a bong are available world wide. Pipe to make a diy reservoir is available world wide. Plastic tube is available world wide. Hose clamps for the tube, and barbs for it are also available world wide.
The only thing that may be tricky is a water block. And that can also be done DIY.
The bottom line of what I am saying is, the only thing stopping somebody from building a wc computer in an isolated country is the person himself. If you are willing to build a diy wc set up, you could do one anywhere. If you are not, well that is on you.
