I've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and I think I finally gathered up enough courage to make the switch :) I know which mobo I will have to get for the mounting holes, but I come here with the question of... which kit? I had a few in mind but I don't know anything about watercooling so I need ur guys opinions!

There is this one... http://www.crazypc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=120199&Product_Code=9372

And this one :p

Are either of these any good, or could u guys recommend a really nice one for me? I'm really lookin for one to give me low low low temps like around the 20-30c? I don't really want a video card block either tho since Im gettin gffx.

Anyways, would u also say puttin one of these kits together is easier then buildin comp? :p K thx! will very much appreciate responses!
 
Ok, Well, it appears that the first and third kit are the same (exept with the first you need to add 50 for wb. So, if you go with one, go with the first, because it's the same and cheaper than the third, and the innovatech is just overpriced. Well, let me just tell you No NO NO NOOO! hehe, jk

Just make your own man. Seriously, it will work better and cost less. Maze 3/Swiftech/Whitewater(more$$), Good pump, Heatercore, Fan, and Clearflex tubing will NEVER cost you more than 150 and it will be better than any of those systems.

I'm using a:
old gemini high flow
Aqua via 1300
Clearflex 60 tubing
86 chevette heatercore
homemade GF3 block
panaflo medium speed fan

And I get 34 (diode) FULL LOAD on an XP1600 @ 1.8 Ghz with 21.5 ambient It's not bad.
 
putting a watercooler together is a LITTLE bit harder than putting a PC together. IT's not bad. You just have to plan it out a little first for things to go smoothly.
 
yea, I was considering just doing that too but would I have to get parts to match or do they basically have the same sizes.
