Tomshardware has a good review of several of them. You will also find out basic info. and what do you need to look for.

Check this link:

But personally I would just build one. Good luck

Toms conclusion

"Conclusion: Innovatek Kits a Real Deal "


My conclusion

"The swift tech needs to be tested WITH a fan or the fan needs to come off the Innovatek kit".


hate to stir up THIS one again, but everytime I see that review, my gutt wretches...

there are many of the same topics out there.

Also, the Swiftech kit seems to come with a crappy all aluminum radiator, along with the fact that it does not have a fan. The best radiators have copper components. With a 120mm fan and a nice heater core, i'm sure the Swiftech could beat the Innovatek kit though I have not personally tried it.

It seems that Innovatek kit (www.innovatek.de) is quite a nice one if your interested.

With just a little research in this forum, you can build your own and save a few bucks. I have seen a lot of good idea's that I want to try. I would just have to buy the waterblock.
Good luck. You can do it!

Danger Den is a good place to start your water cooling adventure.

personally though I'm a cheapskate so i'm building my water setup myself. The kits sold at various places look great and are supposed to be fairly easy to setup. I just feel like I can build a setup cheaper and on par or better than what they sell at any of the watercooling places.
