jenkx said:Remember; Those prebuilt systems don't include waterblocks so you will end up spending more than $200 reguardless.
Try this:
• Black Ice Pro 120mm Radiator with 11/2”OD quick Connects from www.coolticnica.com for $43.99
• MCW6000-P Intel P4 CPU Water Block from www.swiftnets.com for $39.99
• MCW20-P Chipset water-Block for (Northbridge Cooling) From www.swiftnets.com $32.50
• MCW50 VGA Water block with ½” OD quick-connect fittings from www.swiftnets.com $38.95
• Swiftech MCP-600 Pump from www.crazypc.com for $74.95
• MCP600 Adapter kit to 1/2”OD from www.swiftnets.com $4.50
Go to the local Home Depot for a foot of 1/2'”ID tubing and about 4feet of 1/3”ID tubing for about $10 to $15 and purchase a 120mm fan from someplace for about $10 and you have your self a pretty good system for about $260. You could go without the chipset water-block and save 32.50 for a total of about $230. Either way you will save over getting one of those prebuilt systems which do not include waterblocks. Pulse you will have a better system and experience the fun of doing it yourself.
If you search around the net you will find different parts for different prices. Pair up the parts you want for the price you want and you'll be very happy.

For tubing, get the high quality stuff, clearflex60 from www.mcmaster.com search for part # 5231K237. 65 cents a foot too.
Also you could leave out the chipset block or vga block and just aircool those and you could cut the price pretty dramatically.
CircuitBreaker8 said:Also, I have a Cooler Master PAC case which is a midtower, where would I fit all of this?
CircuitBreaker8 said:How would this compare to a SP94 with a high RPM fan?
You can use two quieter fans in push/pull configuration and they should cool fineCircuitBreaker8 said:yeah but i still need a high cfm fan to cool the rad right?
