I just saw this at Performance PCs. It is a "complete" liquid cooling kit for $150, with 2x120mm rad, CPU/GPU/chipset/mosfet blocks, tubing, fans, all mounting equipment.

Any "expert" thoughts on this as a cheap noob kit?

1/4" (6mm) tubing might be the big limitation as most stuff seems to be 3/8" or bigger and only the really cheap kits seem to go 1/4". How much does that impact temperatures and flow?

I guess they just got them in yesterday (11/3) and seem to have 1000 of them in-stock (I played around with adding 1000 and 1001 to cart). :sneaky:

I'm tempted to use it as a starter kit for when I finally upgrade my main rig. I've had a Core i7 with a P6T mobo and some Corsair DDR3 sitting around since Summer that needs a happy home.
 
The pump looks like something you get with some Thermaltake kits. Also, is the radiator also plated copper? If it isn't then that's not so good.
