    the reserator is the easiest to install. I actually just moved my whole system into a new case in the time of watching godzilla on dvd. went very quick considering I did it while watching a movie that i love

    Well according to various magazines i view including micro mart (£1.80 Nothing but reviews and prices etc)
    The P4 Prescott 2.4ghz with phase change cooling can be overclocked to 4Ghz and more

    hey Jay!

    welcome to icrontic.

    i would stay away from that Thermaltake cooling kit.

    if you want a quiet system, go for the Zalman resrator.

    BUT..

    if you want to overclock i would get swiftech/dangerden/dtek kits.

    example: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/h20-8600-0.asp

    thx guys,

    i`m torn atm i like the ease of the all in one things but dont want to get one if they`re rubbish!! THe swiftech one looks a bit trickier to fit but if its worth it i`ll go for it!! Also i was going to get a abit max3 board but i think i`ll wait till pci Express boards appear cos i`m a game junkie so will be getting a new graphics card soon, is this a good idea??


    sorry if i`m being stoopid, but whats phase change cooling!?

    stay away from phase change as a n00b. The reserator keeps my OC'ed 3200+A64 at 113*F
