I decided I want to try watercooling and have been looking around at getting a complete kit. Just need to cool my CPU and found this kit on eBay and wanted to see what any of you mgiht have to say about it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80150&item=6782781492&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW and I was on the dangerden website and looked at the intro kit and its $170. Is it smarter to spend the extra $80 to get the Maze 4 intro kit from Dangerden. All i have is a AMD XP3000 and I dont plan on overclocking anything, just having problems with it staying cool.

I've heard that most kits other than Danger Den, Koolance, and Swiftec are no good. I'd get the Danger Den kit, or just buy the individual components, that way you can buy from more than one company and get a better system.
 
to be honest, you might have better luck with a thermalright SI-97 heatsink and a good 90mm fan than that evercool watercooling kit.
 
You can get a ready to roll external unit called a Koolance EXOS for about $200 new and about $1-150 used. Use any 6mm cooler you want. Simple and works well. You could also build your own kit for the price of a used EXOS.
 
dont like it, if memory serves in some cases it cooled less well than a decent air cooled system. Hate to steer anyone away from water cooling but you did not mention noise as a factor and you are not overclocking. I am sure a decent aftermarket HSF unit and making sure you case has good airflow would solve your problem with a lot less complications and cost.

Now if you just want to do water cooling cause you want too, great ! Just not that system, please. Get something nice you will save money in the long run.
 
I have that kit that you pointed out icemaster.I took it out of the casing and it works wonders.My overclocked amd 64 3000+ idles at 38 c and gaming it only gets to 43c.I have it cooling my gfx card and cpu and i love it.
