Back in 2003, I got interested in WC, and after much research, I've concluded that the quality was not mature enough and the price was too high for me to try WC unless I do much of custom work.
Recently, I thought I'd give another try at WC and did some research and found that there have not been much progress except many cases now has built-in screw holes and fan exhausts at the top of the case. Thermatake, SwiftTech, Koolance, and Danger Den still offer mediocre quality WC gears that are marginally better than good air-cooling. There are still no decent WC package/all-in-one solution that's worth your money. The best gears are still made & sold at Europe, unless you happen to be a reviewers to get these for free.
So, here's my question:
1) Is there any GOOD WC kit available that gives substantial improvement (5-10C or lower with lesser noise) over TRUE? I'm talking about 240mm radiators, BTW.
2) Why are there no real good WC system (such as AlphaCool or Aqua-Computing) readily available at US? Where could I get these from US?
Since I don't like the idea of buying WC parts from all over the place and own a welding shop to mod my own parts and build my custom WC system over countless hours of work, WC would still be unfeasible for me as of now.
