This seems like a very elegant solution, the pump and heat absorber are lightweight, sit close to the CPU and have a very solid conection to the M/B. The radiator sits under a 120mm case fan (non-proprietary); and the result with a Asus P6T M/B with 20GB of RAM and Intel-i7 quad-core CPU is an almost silent box and a CPU which is hard to push over 45 deg C
nice. $82 isn't bad for a plug-and-play kit that you don't have to mess around with cutting tubing and crap (which has always put me off water-cooling before, too much hassle...and too much chance of screwing it up and soaking my m/b) the stock fans on my AMD 1090T CPUs are getting a bit old and noisy now (i've had them a few years - waiting for AMD Zen[1] to be released before i consider upgrading. the FX-8320 and FX-8350 are nice, but not $217/$257 worth of nice) so will need replacing with something better.

ps shouldn't this be on Luv-talk ?
i'd say no - linux users build and upgrade machines, and cooling's an important thing to know about. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
