Default Koolance EXOS-2 with Antec P180

OK, I deleted my original text and replaced it with much more straight to the point text

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835127006

I want this on an Antec P180 case.

How good is this water cooling kit, is it worth the price, will it work with an Antec P180 and does anyone here own this, it is a Koolance EXOS-2 by the way

EDIT/// added poll, which cooler should I get? EXOS-2 or RESERATOR? Noise is definitely a factor for me and the RESERATOR is $220 with a CPU and GPU block and the EXOS is $319 with no blocks, CPU block is an additional $51. Will the RESERATOR really perform worse than the EXOS by enough of a margin to make the extra noise (35dBA) and price be worth it?

Quick question, will this block work with my LGA775 P4 AND an AMD Athlon 64 S939 CPU?

Hah, I just read that review :P I was actually looking more for if people on this forum had the EXOS-2 or had used one whether a friend had one or what not. I think I am pretty sold on it so far......

EDITED original post and added a poll

NO ONE cares to comment or atleast vote for which cooler is better? Strange. Ok let me clarify a bit.

Zalman: Totally silent, costs $150 less including cost of blocks and at this price also includes the GPU block

Koolance: 35dBA at quietest setting, 48dBA at loudest, costs $100 more + $50 more for a CPU block

Which should I get? Does the Koolance really cool that much better than the Zalman?
