I Like the price on that

It looks cool to me, but I'm still doing my reserch on the whole water deal. My bigest concerns are leaks and with the way this unit resides in the case, it would be a disaster if it did. Burke and LT are much more knowledgeable on this subject than I. I would wait to see what they think.

The price is nice though.

i was gonna go LTs route (buliding one) but that just looks to easy proply wouldn't put the radiator or the reserver in the case

I gots no expertise on it, that's why I bought the EXOS, LOL. Simple and easy, don't have to jam parts inside your case or rig up some kind of crazy setup for it to work.

I've been thinking the same thing when I get over my fear of water.

That or an Exxos. Burkes looks sweat.

It looks decent the only concern I would have would be the pump is not very powerful

Posted: **Mon Mar 31, 2003 1:50 pm**

The main thing is to see how much water is pumped.

A excellent one would do 350gph
A good one would do 250gph
I wouldn't go below 150gph

thermaltake has like 95Lph which is really really really low

IMHO that setup isn't gonna cool anything unless you're runnin a Duron 1ghz or less. 95lph isn't much waterflow to cool.

My suggestion, go with a DD kit or a Dtek kit.

I would avoid that system. It uses the cheapest components possible and it's performance is poor compared to other commercial kits. DYI is the best way to go to obtain highest performance for the least cost.

I think terrancelam has the Aquarius. Might PM him.

Temps are supposedly in the 40's.... mine are in the 30's :P using a v9 that is :P

Personally, I wouldnt suggest this, the best type of watercooling is swiftech or dangerden if not custom made... but that can be a pain in the ass.. or exos

BUT i dont want to lug around to much sh*t so im just gonna keep with air cooling
