Hey
so iv'e been looking at water cooling not just for lower temps but i just think it would be something different since iv'e never played around with it before. I was going to get an AIO cooler but apparently they only last a couple years since you can't refill them which is quite frankly ridiculous i mean seriously how hard would it be for the makers to put a fill point in the top of the radiator but i'm rambling,
my 2nd idea was an expandable AIO cooler but their expensive af like Custom loops.
so i looked on ebay and found this kit pretty cheap but it is coming from hong kong and its on ebay so i don't know how reliable it would be:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hot-Water-Cooling-Kit-240-Radiator-CPU-GPU-Block-Pump-Reservoir-Tubing-Barb-3-8/191734758430?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140106155344%26meid%3Df601664291ef4e0785c16ed314580ed7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D331793181764
what do you guys think would it be better to buy a reliable AIO from pccg for like $70 or this kit for $139 from ebay
 
Solution
look into the raijintek triton, the early ones had issues (personal experience) but they are expandable and offer good performance for the money+you will get a reliable warranty.

i like them and they would be good however i can't find them anyone in AUS, PCCG doesn't have them and NEWEGG doesn't stock them in AUS. so that's out of the equation.

My advice would be to save up for a decent water cooling kit, that one from ebay will be nothing but trouble if it even works, if you need better cooling now get a cheap air cooler until you have enough to dabble in water cooling, it is not an area you want to skimp on components.

Edit, a few companies in the UK will ship a raijintek over to you.

Yeah i really didn't wanna touch tat eBay kit because well its eBay. I'll probably buy a cheap AIO and do full custom in a few years + if the fluid does all evaporate in the AIO at least i can experiment with drilling a hole in the top of the radiator give the hole a thread so it can have a cap put in and refill it and see if that works, i don't see why it wouldn't.
