Most the people around here are pretty sold on Danger Den and Swiftech.

Well Putting it into perspective, going with this corsair wouldnt help you very much over a good air cooling set up.

It would cost you a little more and perform about the same.

If you are going for nice looking inside, like case modding, or just to say you have watercooling, go ahead and get it man.

But take heed, its harder to maintain than air cooling is.

Im not sure whether or not to cool my graphics card, would that not make the CPU temps hotter?And how much more will it cost? I think the card is fine with the stock cooling it has, its a Gigabyte GeForce 6800GT PCI-E would it be worth it?
