Would this work?

I'm 90% sure I want to get watercooling now, but I need a new case as well. For this reason I was looking at some cases that already had water cooling setups in them. They all were pretty expensive, but I found this one great deal on directron - http://directron.com/pc2650bu.html. I love the case, and I heard Koolance makes great water cooling setups. Then I would get this waterblock - http://directron.com/maze4a64.html. Would this work? How well? And are there better watercooling setups cheap enough to leave money to buy a case that I could get?
 
I believe that case uses small 1/4" tubing. It also has pitifully weak pumps. The maze4 probably wouldn't fit first of all, and second of all would perform terribly with such a low flow system. You are probably best off getting one of the koolance cpu blocks if you decide to get that, I would recommend you go for a DIY system personally.
 
So it's not a good setup to get? Looks like air cooling for me then. That is the only setup that I could afford.
 
a swiftech kit is 170 on newegg. then get a cheap case. may be only a lil bit over 200.
 
It is not a BAD system persay, I just believe the performance is not up to the price, considering that the price of that system does not include a waterblock. You can get a similar watercooling setup from swiftech or dangerden that will perform better and cost less. The only difference is they need to be added to an existing case and may take slight modifications.

The koolance systems aren't bad, they aren't great, sort of middle of the road. Of all of the completely predone kits however, they are far and away the best.
