I've never gone water cooled but I've been thinking about it...

Are pre-built water cooled computer cases a good idea? I saw this Thermaltake

http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-armor-lcs-ve2000bws.html

for a good price. How much of a difference in temps should I be expecting. I run an e8400 at stock speed. It's 45 degrees celsius at idle and 65 on load.

How loud is it really?

This cases LCS is ment to be crap.

If I was you I would buy a custom WC kit, if you are on a budget then maybe you should look into getting a pre built kit.

People on here will help you more than I can with this information. but in my opinion you cant really go wrong with that information.

Looks like the Thermaltake Big Water kit. I doubt it's loud. You'll see a drop in temps over the stock air cooler, but not much. It's more for quiet operation with slightly better temps.

If you want something better in a kit, check This out.

So if I buy this, I'll just need to buy some distilled water, or coolant?

just need to add distilled water, swiftech includes hydrex (pretty much antifreez) which they will tell you how to mix it with the distilled water.

thermaltake is complete crap in the water cooling world.

swiftech is the way to go with prebuilt kits so i second that kit.
