How does this water cooler look?

Thinking about doing a water cooled system on a shoestring budget. Suggestions welcome.

Looks great to me MrLuigi

I was sitting there listening to my $9 Volcano and contemplating $102 worth of silence. At 10x the price I decided to keep the Volcano.

I was able to locate the site where it is compared to the volcano 9 http://www.overclockersclub.com/iceb...gkitreview.php looks is one thing but if you are going to buy a watercooling system you also want the performance to go with it.

I don't want to steal this thread, I just want to see where this one goes. I too am looking for a good water cooling system.

I totally agree ,spend the xtra money if you intend to overclock if not you are just wasting your money a good aftermarket heatsink,fan and thermal compound will do the trick.

Luigi why not just buy a quality heatsink? When it comes to using a watercooling system you have to at least be ready to spend at least $200.00 and up but you are going to get quality. Innovatek and swiftech are good quality watercooling systems.
