Water cooling Kits...


I've tossed around the idea of water cooling for a while now, but my water cooling noobishess (and lack of $$$) has held me back from going forward with it.

I'll have some extra cash next month and I've decided that a kit would be the best way to go....Untill I get more comfortable with water flowing inside my case.

One kit that has caught my eye is the ThermalTake Bigwater 745. It's easy to install, comes with everything I need to start with, and it performs well. What are your opinions on this product? What other kits should I give my attention to before making a purchase?

Keep in mind that I have a budget of about $200 CDN for this project.

I would stay away from FrozenCPU as they have everything but are expensive as heck. The Bigwater is okay, but when it comes to it, the Bigwater is in the early P4 days compared to what is offered today. The cpu waterblock is similar to what was offered 3-4 years ago with Dangerden. Now there are waterblocks that are literally on the envelope of maximum possible performance obatined. Waterblocks like Cooltechnica's MP-01 and Swiftech's Storm are the top end. So in short I would get a DIY kit.
