    Well....it is the cpufx.com h2o case. And alot of people really REALLY don't like them (just browse pro-coolings website) but i can't speak from experience. I see the reserve for $340, and i think for the same money you can piece together something alot better. Have you looked at the kits from DD or dtek ? Maybe incorporate this into your current case, or pick up a new LL..just a thought :)

    Peeps hate cpufx due to their business practices and lack of morals.

    As to the setup, to buy the case, block etc would cost you not far off the £230 they are charging (then you will have to build it) whereas this is pre done for you. However on top of this you have to add shipping as well as the TAX (unless they will ship it as a sample). All of this will push it up to the better part of £300. For about that you can get the swiftech quiet power which is better or the Koolence, which is cheeper.

    The Z4 block does get good reviews, but the pump that they use in the res is a 12v bilge pump which is not rated for 24/7 running and do have short lives. The rad is average, nothing more. The nice bit is the case.

    I personally would think long and hard. If it was me and I wanted a pre done case now I would pay the extra and get the swiftech, but thats because I have had one of their blocks and liked it.

    Where would I go to get the swiftech or koolance? (sorry I'm a watercooling n00b). I want a prebuilt one, as I wouldn't know what bits to get that will work well together and probably end up with a useless system.

    Yeah swiftech would be the good way to go..swiftnets.com Check the "Where to buy" link to find a store near you. Good luck and let us know how it goes. :)

    Cheers for the links, looking forward to some peace and quiet for my new system, although those cases don't look as nice as a Lian.
