Custom liquid cooling is still a better choice. You only end up paying for a overpriced system with much poorer performance compared to a custom one, and have the added hassle of dealing with low quality parts and galvanic corrosion. Then they start adding the fancy colors and dye's, and what do you know? Two months later the system gets clogged and the pump fails. Then the user has no idea how to clean it out and repair it.

Many people get sucked in to such systems for a easy way into the liquid cooling hype, it ends up biting them back usually. I mean, if your gonna spend such big $$$, why not got the best performance possible and reliability. One leak can destroy hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of hardware.

Just my opinion. CoolIT is still one of the better ones compared to something like Thermaltake.
