I'm looking to water cool my cpu, and was wondering...I don't want to spend too much (100+) to WC. The main concern I have is saftey of the CPU (the water won't seep out) and then price. Also, If I can get a WCer that hooks on like a heatsink, thats fine with me (in fact, I encourage it). So, what WC kits are there to my specs?

Hail Red. as for water cooling ive tried it only prob is its always bulky. what kinda system you trying to cool? i myself built my own water cooling system spent around 100.00. you might beable to do it for less. ive come to believe that if you can handle the excess noise then water kool that bad boy. i can send you pics of my water kooling system(ill even sell you part or all of it if ya want)what i did is went down to Walmart got me a RED palstic tool box(9.99)
also since i own an Amusement company i took the FANS outta one of the old holo combat games(remember that game?) i then took and cut a nice rectangle(just big enough for the 2fans to fit into, with some hotglue to help)
in front of the toolbox make sure the fans are blowing OUT!! the on the other SIDE of the toolbox i cut another RECTANGLE just big enough for a TRANSMISSION COOLER(29.00-39.00) at AUTOZONE or any autoparts store(make sure you get the smallest size they have)so what you now get at this point is 2 fans or 1 (your choice) that are blowing AIR out of the front of the tool box and sucking AIR in form the TRANSMISSON COOLER side(see the air kools the fluid that will pass through the TRANS COOLER) get you some CLEAR Tubeing(make sure it fits around the TRANS COOLER intake tube and outtake tube) then the next step is to get you a medium to transfer the heat from the CPU to the WATER i used a copper water jacket..hmm how about you just go check these sites out

Buy a prebuilt system? Where's the fun in that? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Just kidding. There are a good number of water cooling kits, but I have found the least expensive ones off here:

Their complete kits range from $70 up to $130.
