Are you handy? with $180 I suggest dtek flowmaster kit, but I really suggest you pick and built your own watercooling system.

Dangerden also makes decent kits.

THE swiftech kits are pretty good for a reasonable price. They come with everything you need for installation

Yup, and this would be a good starter kit with room to grow.

For just a CPU, yes. The pump is too weak for anything more.

Anything else as in additional hardware or higher level processors?? Tt bills it as working with the current, new, processors such as the Athlon64... I've been thinking about trying out the bigwater unit... I'm holding off until I have the results from my planned duckting mod (since we're due for a sweet snow storm, I'll be working on it this weekend)...

Kits aren't usually designed for expansion beyond a certain level. In my experience, most kits are offered with the idea of drawing in less knowledgable users who are trying to get away with spending less. The Swifty kits by and far avoid any of this under-handed stuff. The Bigwater, based on the reviews I've read, sits in between good Swifty kits and the more rinky-dink kits. Being that the Bigwater is well built and designed, I'm sure one can beat more performace out ot it with a more powerful pump and suitable blocks, when\if one is ready to move up.

Yeah, it's a good time for indoor work here in Illinois too. We're expecting a foot of snow or more in the next 18-hours. :cool:
