    with the koolance cases, they now have the cheiftec dragon case availiable with w/c built in, you could get one of these and then chuck your front pannel on instead (the should fit i think) and then you got ure nice case with w/c.

    ps if you cant find this case with koolance, dont ask me where it is! i saw the review of it in Atomic Magazine (australia)

    From where I stand it I would say that Koolance is not **** - what I understand is that the koolance is an 'adequate' but unexceptional 'quick fix'. There is no doubt that koolance will cool a rig it's just that most get into w/cing to get a quiet or high performance system. A system which has been assembled from carefully selected, separate components and installed in a modded case will, without a doubt, outperform any off the shelf solution. The koolance rig only wins if the main deciding factors are time/lack of experience and also, to an extent cost - though the difference between a home-grown and koolance rig is not large the koolance case and components are cheaper. I reckon it's a bit of a 'ya get what ya pay for' type thing... :dude:

    the Swiftech Quiet Powers are a pretty neat p&p solution, but pricey and tbh better results and more fun can come from a self build

    Most I have read about the Koolance (see hardocp review) say exactly what coolrunning says. The Swiftech Quiet Power gets my vote as it has a reasonable block, danner pump and heater core rad. But building your own is more fun.:eyebrow: I think...
