asetek is so-so for watercooling kits. Do you really need a kit? Because if you put one together yourself you will save money and will have a better performing setup.

I suggest a Swiftech Apogee CPU block ($49.95), Swiftech MCP655 pump ($79.95), Black Ice Xtreme III Triple 120mm Radiator ($61.95). Swiftech MCW60-B VGA Cooler ($44.60). The pump i listed is leaps and bounds better than the one Asetek uses. The waterblock is also a lot better. You really don't need a triple radiator if all you plan on watercooling is your CPU. A single 120mm will work perfectly fine.

$236.45 + tax + shipping from www.sidewindercomputers.com.

I also suggest buying some Tygon 7/16in. ID 5/8in. OD #R3603 tubing if possible. It is pricey but worth it. You can also buy the tubing there.

i considered putting one together,but i've never done it before and i don't want to test it out with a brand new rig.
How is this one.it's bound to be cheaper.And i don't really need a triple rad.
