Hey, I'm going to be buying a water cooling kit tonight, and I was checking this one out http://www.dtekcustoms.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=102 It seems pretty nice with the 1/2" tubing, the 3 connection waterblock, and a nice pump. I'm either going to get this, or the thermaltake bigwater kit(and since its cheaper an additional stick of 512mb corsair pc 3200 ram) http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=CA-CLW0005&c=yh&pid=f5ca7145aefaa721dd771669a18c4503a4e0d89d1e8372789d8f1adbaf03888d# . I've limited it to these 2 options after researching for about a month.

Anyway I know that the flowmaster kit is better, but how does the big water kit actually preform. I've read alot of reviews with alot of different responses. Is there anyone here who has the bigwater kit, or has some experience or knowledge about it.

I have an AMD 64 3200+, ATI x800XL, and eventually in a few months I plan on adding a gpu waterblock. Anyway how do you think the bigwater would preform on my system now, without using a gpu waterblock. What temperature range idle, and full load can i expect. thanks

O yea and i forgot to mention that I am probably not going to overclock my processor. I am buying this kit to make my pc quiet cause im sick of having 4 fans that are really loud(and i have a fan controller too). If the bigwater is going to be around my stock temp which is like 43*C idle, and 53*C full load I'll just get the flowmaster kit which i know is pretty good.

    FLOWMASTER XT !!!!!
    Thermaltakes water cooling kits have a tendency to suck.

    I don't think you'll be disappointed really.
