Most good WC kits (whether configured by yourself, or premade) are going to run around $250-300. Personally I would go over to dangerden.com and price out a kit. That way you can put whatever you want in it to suit your needs better than a preconfigured kit would.

hmm k, just wonderin, a bud of mine just got that thermaltake WC kit and it cooled his prescott down about 20 degrees F but only cost like 150 bucks so i figured if i put my own together an get good stuff w/ larger line than that 1/4 inch line that the thermaltake came w/ id get better cooling.

Shervin, the bigwater sucks lol. You can get better temps with good air cooling that doesn't cost half as much.

to each his/her own as they say.. but you got to admit some of the ready made kits are good... but its also not about temps here... its about carrying the heat away from the cpu :P soo yeah cant really expect a really close temp to ambient temp for those kits..

The only ready made kit I have seen that is half way decent is the Swiftech kit, but even it doesn't hold a candle stick to a custom one from say DD.
