    There wouldnt be a decent starter kit currently on the market would there? Im only after a few things to be cooled so i dont want much. And a kit would make things a lot easier. Any thoughts?

    Cheers
    Ug :)

    Well kits are rare especially in the UK. I think CCM (Cool Case Mods) do the swiftech one.

    Note:

    Kits tend to be designed in ridged layout and will not suit some case layouts. So people tend to mix and match. This can mean more hassle for you but you will end up with something that can grow and change as you see fit or when you confident enough to try something new.

    Looks like the kit has gone from the site :cries:

    Sorry it was there a couple of weeks ago?

    You may have to venture across the water, Overclockershideout springs to mind.

    That is the only UK site selling kits that I have seen as well (well spotted Mat-ster) I would not go for the senfu as it has not reveiwed will, as to the innova read http://www.dwpg.com/content.php?contid=13&artid=96.
    I however would always recommend getting your bits and building yourself if you can.

    Get you shopping list and one of us will tick them off.

    More hassle, small price to pay for the best cooling method.

    I should imagine there will be some interest at that sort of price. I hope it has been reviewed?

    Keep us posted :D

    as maplins has yet to grace the US with their presence what can I do? I live in Illinois. I'm really iffy bout water cooling just as long as it dont cost too much. How much would starter kit cost. Or what do i do if I want to cool a CPU and a graphics card? No resevoir if possible as my acrylic cube aint big enough. I want flexible tubing and UV reactive dye. Should i go to petsmart and get some tubing for aquarium and order the pump, rad, and waterblock(s) online. Any tips? Any good suppliers in the US? The whole kit is gonna be on display so i want it to look nice. are the water blocks with plexi tops too much $$ ? I'm 15 so money is very tight with me. So any tips on stuff that works good for the cost. Itts mainly a gaming box and LAN box (thats why dont realy want resevoir) and it will be left on almost all the time. Need it to stay fairly cool. Please help me cuz im bowing down to all you cool people (hehe i made a pun!)
