good pump
use a heatercore (much better then regular rad)
crappy cpu block
crappy vga block

In the end the way to go is custom

I rate it a 4/10 (5 being mediocre) <--- spelling?

The kit is a good entery level one the pump is a good one, the cpu block is good, not the best but good, the similar cpu block gives me decent idle and loads temps when attached to a heatercore, but do replace the radiator with a heatercore to give better temps.

I believe the best cpu block is the storm 5 (pure silver block) last i heard was aroung $200? or the storm 4 or equivlent http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-blc-204.html or go with one of ther tdx's or rbx's blocks http://www.dangerdenstore.com/home.php?cat=58 for cheaper prices. Hopefully some other watercooling guru to fill in the dull spots i may be missing.
