I guess that's pretty cool for $99. I'm looking into a DIY watercooling setup myself, THIS ONE (http://www.sharkacomputers.com/inwatcoolkit1.html) from Innovatek.

The waterblock looks kinda weak to me and the pump seems maybe iffy but hey for $99 what the hell. I'm curious if it gets much cooler than a top end heatsink/fan combo.

post some results when you get it running. and maybe post some reviews of that system if ya got em.

thnx

again, not too shabby for 100 bucks. question: how did the 2 fans screw up your computer?

hahahah why not use the Toshiba TV as your monitor? that TV looks pretty damn sweet :D

good, clean work on that

Nice! Hey, what psu is that?

[epik_x]

Thanks for the nice comments.

Its not the fans that screwed the computer up. Its when I removed the top to paint it some metal chipped off and shorted out the agp slot and videocard.

The psu is a 350watt dual fan enermax switching PSU.

kenrippy that looks real nice, but a bit too much for my wallet at the moment. Except for the pump which looks kinda weak at 79 Gallons per hour, unless its a typo, which I think it is cuz my little pump pushes 150 gallons per hour.

As for benchmarks as soon as I get everything up and running i'll post some temps and overclocking results.

[kenrippy]

can you find me some reviews of your setup and where you got it from?? cuz I'm lookin atm for a setup. the innovatek kit is acclaimed to be the best out right now for complete kits. their waterblock is the best hands down.

thanks!

cool, thanks epik.

it's about what i was expecting to see in a review. i'm afraid if i got that kit i'd just want to upgrade components very soon.

good luck with it and update us on how you like it when you get the rig together.

thnx again.

Ya np, ill keep you guys posted. Im hoping to get my system up in about 2 weeks, and if the kit doesnt cool fairly decent, i may end up getting better components too. I consider this kind of like a water cooling starter kit.

I found this kit which is a little more expensive then mine but still fairly inexpensive...and provides decent cooling.
