Not sure what the question is, but if you are looking for opinions, you may want to keep an eye on the PCMech homepage for a new review soon.

Keep in mind; that could be a liquid cooling solution for ANTEC 900s. She could be a hot nurdette.

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.

By all means, I totally agree that custom liquid cooling is a much better choice, and that the builder should plan a system with that in mind; should he intend such cooling. I've read posts in which builders would like to try H20 cooling, yet have found out that they purchased a case that is inadequate for such because of space limitations. The CoolIt is one option. Liquid cooling is probably a necessary evil for systems in an industrial-technical existence. I think that it's a waste of time and money for a personal system. It takes up too much space, usually, and most of the systems that I have seen with such, are cluttered and junky looking. Of course, I might end up trying it someday, after the X38s and such get established and some NASA-grade CPUs are available.

Ha ha... you made me look -- Seriously though, would it be nice to be able to actually install one of those in the two minutes it took her?
