What's this WC kit like?

for 200$ + shipping i would sooner put together my own kit....doesn't seem like the worst but imho i wouldn't use it... i just put together my own kit some from danger den and some from d-tek all in all i am quite happy.
 
That may be a decent kit but I almost guarantee that once you get it, set it up, and use it for a bit you'll wish you had purchased a DIY kit. I originally bought an EXOS setup to satisfy my wc needs. It's a great kit and has decent performance but I was still wondering about a 1/2" system. Needless to say the EXOS sits in my closet while my newly built 1/2" system cools my rig now. I wish I had gone this route before forking out the $250 for the EXOS setup.
 
I actually got bought one of these for 90 bucks here on these forums. I'll let you know how well it performs with my P4 3.2ghz ES proc. I also have an XP-120 and will see what the different temps are like.

That would be me that he bought this TT Big water from :p .. My personal experience from using it was that its a decent kit for watercooling.

It will be competitive as a high end heatsink, but will never blow it away. I had a Thernmalright SP-94 before the this kit and it pretty much performed on par with the SP-94. But the real plus was it did it without the noise.
 
I also think you would be happier with a DIY kit. Its more fun, and will be better. It will also hel you get a much better understanding (if your new to water anyways) on how exactly water cooling works.

Thats good to hear. Quiet was my goal in purchasing the kit. I've gone through great lengths to build a quiet pc.If I did decided to go highend I did my research and would go with a Aqua-Computer setup.
 
What do you need for a DIY kit? A Pump, a Waterblock, a Resovoir, and pipes, and some additive to the water? How does it work? Like, the sequence?
 
What order do the things go? What's the most important component? What should i spend the most on?

Ripped from Silent PC Review Forums :

Does the order in which my system is plugged together matter?
NO. There are too many people who believe in the myth that cold water goes into the waterblock, and comes out as hot water, where it is cooled by the radiator and comes out again as cold water. This is WRONG. The flow rate of any respectable watercooling system is such that the water never changes temperature significantly in the time it spends in any one item. As such, the temperature differential between the hottest and coolest parts of the loop is next to ZERO, if not no more than a single degree celsius.

In fact, the ONLY order rule that exists is that the reservoir (if you have one in your loop) must be immediately before the pump.

That entire article is a good read.
