1. that looks like a rocketfish case, I cant justify paying that much for something that looks like that.
2. Supreme cabling can be done if you read our sticky linked at the top of this section. Cable management just takes time and planning.
3. Window... ummm theres way to make your own window, however i dont like windows on a machine in my bedroom. I hate the bleeding light.
4. Cooling mesh, you can mod and buy your own cooling mesh. Basically its for the vent in the lower section where the radiator is.
5. Airbrush - Ummm no cmment here. You could possibly hier someone.
6. Fans, Theres tons of fan stores, i like jab-tech, my favorate right now is the scythe ultra kaze's on my radiator, and Zalman F3's on my other radiator.
7. O M G 899 britsh poulds for a h2o system? I could build an entire computer with that amount + h2o cooling.
8 PSU. Dont know how the prices go in UK on these guys. But 139 seems about right, i see the 850's for around 179 us dollars.
9. Motherboard. I dont like asus. DFI FTW! if your a newbie ocer, ASUS FTW!
10. CPU. *sigh* not sure about those prices, but in the US you cant beat the frys 179.99 deal on the Q6600.
11. Ram Pick a DDR2 board so you can use cheaper DDR2 Ram. 175 Britsh pounds is rediculous amount to spend on ram right now.
12. Skipping the rest as it doesnt apply
13. 188 britsh pounds in building. OK, wtf does 899 britsh pound include then? the 899 should overlap this fee, and you should only be paying for 1 and not both.
Assume this way, the average h2o kit, and he wont be dropping in the best will cost around 275-350 british pounds. Now your paying well over 1000 BP.
So basically your paying roughly 600-650 BP to build this thing. Okey, im sure you can find someone on the forum who lives near you willing to do all this for either half or less then half of this build price.
14. Okey the free t-shirt wins it! definitely a good buy... ummmm (sacrasm)
Hey op, basically what im trying to tell you straight is never buy a prebuilt h2o cooled computer. Reason is you need to see how it is built, and you need to build it. There are serval things which is required and a prebuilt wont teach you how to do it.
You need to bleed, and you need to run into a problem to see how you trouble shoot it. You need to study the loop so you understand how it works. Buying something out of the box and fill will only bring headaches in the future on you. And when we ask something simple like what block do you have, is it bowed? whats the pump? how is your flow, if you look at me with a lost face, ima throw this pump at you!

SORRY i had to do this: Breakdown of the h2o parts with respected prices:
Pumps: Dual loop design
Swiftech MCP655 ~ 69-75 dollars
Swiftech MCP 355 ~ 69 dollars
Siberaian Blastflow, - Super Expensive blocks, but there are better alternatives. x 2 ~ 139.99-159.99 (varies) x 2 <-- this is being expensive
Chipset Blocks: MCW30 x 2 = 22.95 each x 2 ~ 45 dollars
AHHHH MIPS! Uber nice, expensive = 55 dollars.
Cape coolPlex. EK will own it. 79.99
Radiator: They say swiftech, so if we factor the most expensive MCR320, or the most expensive radiator, feser 120x3 @ 169.99 x 2
Liquid coolant innotek? OH GOWD PLEASE... use pentosion, your in UK, goto a JAG dealer.
Nope, doesnt = 899 Britsh Lbs. Not even close. Sorry Vadim your making an insanely hugh profit on this one and he needs to know by how much.
Sorry i pick at every prebuilt build like this. You should of seen me tear up the murder box. :X
If you do buy this, Tell Vadim to avoid alu. If he puts alu in the wetted parts, you REFUSE to buy it. Vadim should know better then to use annodized alu even.
Also he f'd the loop order up, and im suprised he did something this stupid.
The proper loop order should be:
Loop1: Pump -> Rad -> Cpu -> Chipset -> Res
Loop2: Pump -> radiator -> Gpu -> Mosfet 1-> -Mosfet 2 -> Res
Tell me whats the point in putting the cpu and gpu on the same loop in a dual loop config. Whats the point in dual loops then.
