I checked some reviews on that thing. Stick with your air cooling cause it performs better than that WC kit.

Nope, that Aquagate Mini is pretty damn Impressive. PC Gamer Magazine ( I think PC Magazine) got a P4 3.2GHz all the way up to a 4.2GHz! The Aquagate showed good temps. and they benchmarked them with. OC'ing ability, Temperature, and The Easiest to Install. Aquagate Mini got 2nd Place with a OCing and It got 1st place for being the Easiest to install. Here is a Video Review about it.

the little kits like those don't offer any better temps than a big typhoon. you're better to get good air cooling or make the jump to a better water cooling setup

difficulty to install isn't the point when you are installing an unworthy product. i was thinking high-end air vs low-end water before and checked up some results on these kits. all of them, including the R120, beats the top-end cooling solutions by 1-2C IF any at all. you are better off with a zalman 9500 seriously. no risks of leaks and coolant refilling.
