Found this 40$ AR water cooling kit
Now Ill be the first to admit I dont know much about water cooling. But as far as sub 50$ units, this is the nicest Ive seen.
Here is a Review of the unit. Review#2
The main bonus I see over the other $50 kits out there is that this is expandable (vga cards ect)

Jax :)

Edit:updated with new deal

Looks good but reviews make it sound the same as any good hs/f. Its probably quieter though. Good deal. Might consider if it came in black too.

I got this awhile ago when it was 59.99 after a $15 MIR. This thing is way better than any HSF. I am currently using it on a 2.8C Northwood o/c at 4.0GHZ and it keeps my temps at 35C idle, 46c load. Defintely a great cooler, and if you add a 60mm fan on the back, it lowers the temps even more. Highly recommended for a beginner or someone wanting a cheap, good looking, well built water cooler.

What are the chances that a hose will come loose or crack, drenching your mobo and CPU in coolant? I really want a liquid-cooled system, but I don't know if its worth the risk

Are you sure the rebate isn't fake? It has multiple typos, such as "To receive you $20 Mail-In-Rebate", or in the fine print where it says "Manufacturer is not responsible for lost of misdirected mail.", or "Requests with invalid or underliverable mailing address will be denied."

I doubt this is much better than aircooling...fan noise on it maybe louder than many ..although Coolermaster does have so nice rresonablefans ..they are quiet

oops...had a stroke typing I guess....

This is tempting, but it really offers me no advantages over my mid-range air cooler. Also, it's certainly not silent.

That, and I can't get a freaking MIR because my college add'y is a PO Box (home won't work b/c it's 2500+ miles away). :(

sound tempting but if it will only last as long as the cores it supports do, unless it can be modified?
