asetek waterchill kit

I saw sharka.com selling the asetek waterchill kit, complete with cpu, vga, and chipset waterblocks

http://www.sharkacorp.com/Merchant2...&Product_Code=ast-wch-kt12&Category_Code=kits

for $259.99

i've mentioned before that im looking for a good complete wc kit, and dont have the resources to build my own
so you guys think this is a good kit?

Here's a review of a similar kit from Astek: http://www.overclockers.com/articles804/

It would be basic water-cooling, but not high-performance especially for the CPU. If you just want to reduce system noise, it would work although $260 for anything but a high-performance water system seems high in my frugal opinion.

If I was spending that much money and it had to be a complete kit, I'd look at the swiftech offerings especially the new ones with the new 12V pump. At least their cpu&vga blocks are designed for close-to-high performance water cooling; better blocks are available, but not that much better and more expensive. The Astek blocks are simple water-in water-out types with no pins, fins, spirals, mazes, slots, jets, etc. to increase cooling performance.

Spreading your purchases out over 2-3 sources will allow you to put together a better, lower-cost "kit" that requires no modding, cutting, or drilling other than what you'd have to do with a factory kit.

for 120mm radiators, how do you mount it on a 80mm intake in a case?

Yeah just 'create' your own kit. A block here, a block there, a res and pump and rad and some tubing and fittings and your done. You would have to put a Kit together (assembly is required) anyway, might as well get the best stuff for a good price.

If you're interested in the kit for cheaper, PM me. I have one for sale for alot cheaper than $260
