Default Should I buy this?

Alright guys if you would be so kind as to visit this link for any information and pics

http://www.overclock.net/appraisals/...ml#post7569223

I am wondering if its worth it to pick this setup up in the 150$ price range all together...what would you pay for it all?

Is it a decent selection of parts?

This will be my first water cooling setup so how is this as a starter kit?

If i decided to water cool my 4870 what else would i need to add to this? would i need to replace parts to get optimal performance?

Should i just go and buy my own parts?

So what do you guys think?

BTW this would be ran on my sig rig

If you can get it for $150, then do it. It looks like a cool LAN case and the WC setup could be very nice with a radiator upgrade.

Thanks Mr_Nibbles & _AKIMbO_

I saw the case awhile back when it was released and rather fell in love with it...come to think of it i have liked just about every NZXT case i have ever seen

I think i may jump on this...it is kind of expensive though compared to other upgrades i could do on my sigrig or secondary rigs...i could always use my Antec 300 and buy water cooling parts

So if i where to buy a water cooling setup on the same performance level to mimic the one in the sale what would you guys recommend?

I actually just found the case on newegg and remembered why i didn't give it much thought...its a 120$ case

So is it just me or is this deal looking sweet...as long as that case is not beat all to hell?

Then again i don't need the case so what could i get to go in my Antec 300 at the performance level of the used sale above?

Dude that pump alone is worth like $65. If I were to build you a similar setup it would cost at least $200-$300 exclusive of that case.

....My wallest is you

Well this is sounding good...i hope he has the original face plates for the case...it comes with that fan controller so woot

Now Akimbo can you tell me what i would need to get my 4870 under the loop?

Thanks guys for all of the input...Akimbo you kind of just sealed the deal on it with that last statement man

Do you just want to watercool your 4870 or do you want to watercool your cpu and your 4870...because if you want to watercool both then you are definitely going to need at least 2 rads.

Well i just want to know what i will need in the future if i decide to do so...i always like to experiment with things..

Couldn't i just get a stronger pump or would i have to run two pumps to cool both the GPU and CPU effectively?

Betcha can't tell i am a novice
