    I would recommend you stay far far away from the Thermaltake one...every part of it has the makings of a lousy cooling system. I have also heard several cases of the acrylic on the waterblocks cracking.

    X-bit labs did a comparison of some watercooling kits recently, including the Tt and Gigabyte ones: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/16watercooling.html
    So out of these 2, the Gigabyte would definitely be a better choice.

    Although I have my own opinions about watercooling (vs air cooling) and I'm sure Chai will drop in to say something as well :p

    for tat money better u stay air cooling..get a scythe ninja, xp-120, xp-90 or soon coming ultra 90 n 120 from TR..it will pawned entry level watercooling

    Like PowerSlide said...you buy that sort of watercooling is to look good only (and only to certain people :haha: ). If you want watercooling that's really better than air cooling, be prepared to pay. ;)

    And if you want to get that kind of system, be prepared for paying the price for not paying the price! :haha:

    One good all-in-one watercooling kit is Corsair Nautilus500 External Water Cooling kit. It performs quite good.

    Yep. It'll set you off double of what you wanted.

    Ehiem? Really good pump, but it's a big heat load on the loop.

    Are you sure? I remember my Eheim 1250 supposedly put out only 24W :think:

    gigabyte doesn't try it
    but thermaltake, is an entry level water cooling
    dun expect much...

    and be aware of installation.
    plz reminded, becareful when u want to open the water block
    make sure it is screw tight, when u resemble it

    or not, u may got a chance to smell of burning hardware
