One of the fastest growing segments in the PC building arena is anything having to do with small form factor.

So, by doing an mITX based computer inside a SNES years ago and then doing an mATX build my freshmen year at college, I was doing SFF computers before they were cool? That would make me a...a...HIPSTER!

HAHA, indeed!

Honestly though, it's nice seeing manufacturers pushing SFF cases with decent cooling. My desktop a few years ago was in a TT Lanbox, and I liked it, one of the few downsides being a CM GeminII was one of the better coolers I could put in it, and even then the PSU blocked airflow. I'd like to go that route again so I can actually put my legs under the desk, but I don't want to be limited in other aspects of the computer.

Hadron Hydro...

So, we pay $170 for the case, and then $165 for a Do-It-Yourself cooling kit?

I don't think so.

Buy a closed loop Corsair, et al, for less money and far less hassle.

And far less performance

If you're not overclocking much, that's certainly a viable option though.

I've been out of the water cooling club for a while, but to my understanding the AIO units aren't really worth the price over a good air cooler these days. If you want water cooling performance, you get actual water cooling.

Edit: Lvcoyote beat me to it.

Have you had any trouble or any leaks with the pump/res after your initial cold test

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been on vacation. To answer your question, I have not experienced any leaks so far. However, there were a few complaints about this at the EVGA forums. EVGA says they've made some improvements to the pump/res and will send you a replacement if you encounter a leaky unit.
Thanks!
