First off let me say that I am a complete noob to water cooling, hence why I got this kit. I will summurize my instalation process so that anyone thinking of buying it will know what its like for a noob. First off, Hooking up, adding water and getting the bubbles out was easy. Though for my set up (AMD 64 3400+ on a DFI lanparty board s754) it was a bitch to install the block. Thats because the screws they gave me were not long enough. So I had to find longer ones. While trying to screw the block down, it moved alot, which isnt good for the thermal paste. While the only part that sucked was putting the block on, the rest was smooth. I havent noticed a difference in idle temps on, but its only been running for 20 mintues. Although I did notice a difference in prime95 load temps(i started as soon as I booted and just now stoped it) So...all in all its a good kit i think for noobs such as myself, although I do see me upgrading by the end of the year.
 
Yeh, I started off with the Kingwin too. Used it for about two weeks before I went DIY...
 
Watch for cracks in your resovoir around the filler hole. I got 3 cracks there, and as a result, I had to go out and buy a new pump and resovoir.
 
The reservoir on my Evercool (same kit) is cracked as well. I think I'm just going to seal the crack with epoxy for now, unless anyone knows where to get a new one.

Apparently according to some guy at the Home Depot you can't seal accrylic? so I thought heck with it, just go buy a new res. Only problem is you need a new pump too.. which sucked.

Don't think you can get a new resovoir unless you order it from Evercool (or Kingwin) but with all the reports of cracked resovoirs, I wouldn't waste money getting another one.
