Should I go for Aluminium Water Cool or Alpha PAL 8045?

I've heard water cool is troublesome.
yet alpha PAL is made of copper and aluminium

what should i choose?

I've got an Alpha 8045 sitting on my XP.

It's an aluminium chunk of copper-bottomed loveliness.

Prolly just about the best air cooling you'll get.

the alpha is a lot cheaper than a water cooling system and only takes 30minutes total to install.

A whole lot cheaper. Qnd it's an easy install for the Alpha.

I just bought my ALpha and i can't wait to see how it goes. I did the whole water cooling thing and i will prolly do it again but only after i have a computer i don't about as much because my resivor had a little crack the last time i did it and although it didn't hurt anything i would like to make sure it doesn't because for right now that is the only computer i have.

if you go for water cooling then each part can slowly be upgraded with air you can er.. get a new fan and er... not much else
