Q6600 Koolance Watercooled, Is this worth it?

[oceanboundtx]

Looking for a new PC to play AoC, work... and Warhammer when it comes out.

Is this worth the $750 he wants for it, right now? I have no real experience with watercooled, are they worth the trouble?

Q6600
Gigabyte P35
4gb Tracer
150gb Raptor
8800gt
1000watt coolermaster ps
Koolance WC setup.
Xp 64 bit

Looks like a decent deal?

GPU isn't that great, and the harddrive is kind of stupid considering there are drives that are almost as fast and give tons more space

i dunno about the WC...most good WC setups are costume..

i say itsa not bad deal, you may want to get a bigger hard drive tho, a 500gb will run you about 90$

koolance watercooling = good air setup

but that is definitely a good looking deal

 

[thirdshiftdj]

does that include a case? I say go for it.

Depends on which koolance setup it is. Generally however koolance violates the #1 prime directive of water cooling and that is to never mix copper and aluminum.

As a result of this, you get something called galvanic corrosion to occur which is never good.

Anyways I would say get pics of it and then decide.

I would drop the raptor and get the seagate 640

Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Then you can bump it up to a 4850 =D
