thanks for the welcome guys!

just a quick thought though, if you throw in something thats aluminium into a copper setup, why does it corrode? not sure whats the story behind that, all i know is that your not suppose to mix metals or something? lol

All of TT's stuff isn't crap. The Big Typhoon is one of the best air coolers out there.

Yeah they have been making better coolers lately, and I'm a proud owner of an Armor, so it goes without saying that I like their cases. Though usually they rip their ideas off from everybody else

I do like the thermaltake cases, and it does seems like they copy other companies idea's. But I guess thats smart.

Is the Big Typhon that good it beats all cheap W/C kits, I'm sure I saw this on another post somewhere.

What sort of cooling do you get, 30's? or still 40's?

if W/C gets 20's-30's with a decent setup, what comparable OC ratio is that?

i.e W/C = x% OC (with decent DIY setup) vs Air = x% OC (with top range air cooler like typhoon)
