Water cooling for 95$ too good to be true right?

simple. cheap. worthless.

the arctic is basically worse than air cooling - stay away from it.
 
The radiator is smaller than conventional CPU air-cooled heatskinks. (like the Swiftech ones for example)
 
There is 2 radiators, one that blows all that generesly blows all that hot air pulled from the CPU back into the case, another that blows it out
 
I agree with greenman. I did pretty much that except I had a bunch of 80mm fans laying around and used those instead and saved a couple more bucks.

I believe it used to be 95$ but I guess the extra 10 comes from the included coolworks shroud.
 
That setup is a good idea for a small and tidy setup. The problem is that it is only usefull if your overclocking a 550mhz celeron.
 
On watercooling systems, do they have anything that "cools" the water ike a peltier, seams like just air-cooling the water does pretty much the same thing
