    I am looking for something more external like Coolermaster Aquagate or thermaltake Aquarius III external liquid cooling...I know Koolance has a really good one being the Exos-2 but im not sure i wanna drop 350 beans on it...i might as well just buy their 600 dollar tower if im gonna do that... ny ideas on good external liquid cooling? i dont wanna spend 200 and get something that sucks if something thats 275 is impressively advanced id rather pay for what i get... all help welcome and thanks !

    The Termaltake Tribe might be a better option to the Aquarius III. The Aquarius unit looks to be made up of existing parts, like the water/cpu temp monitor. Would not be surprised to find a bigwater cooler inside the box.

    Personally if I was going to go external, I would buy a cheap bar fridge and do proper cooling of the liquid by running the tube around the small freezer.

    Most likely cheaper than the air units, and quieter. not to mention good place to store drinks.

    As i'm all internal, I'm waiting on the Aquabay series to hit .au to give me abit more cooling.

    The issue with fan units is that they extract the heat out of the water, but do not really chill the water if the air around you is warm aready.

    you dont have to fit much,the pump rests on the bottom of the case with the reservoir just above it,the radiator will fit in any 120mm fan duct,or an 80mm radiator can be bought,a picture of the inside of the case would be great,I bet we could easily sqeeze it in,if not for the price of a half decent watercooling setup a new case is chump change!:)

    Water cooling system will make CPU t* down and get faster release t* for OC, your computer do not make noise any more and your computer case look more pro. you can mode it for CPU, GPU, Chipsets, to get high at OC.

    Just noticed this thred so here is my two cents for what it is worth!
    I built my water set up and put the radiator and resivore and pump out side the main case in a (cheep at the time) case (about 25 or 30 dollars )
    and it has done well for me! here is a link to how it looks,
