A ak_smallz In Runtime Messages 225 Jan 4, 2005 #42 from all the reviews, the Thermaltake Bigwater cooling kit it really nice and can be found for around 100-150 bucks. It cools within 1-2 degrees of the zalman for half the price. Thats an option if you still are interested in water cooling. here are some sites where they sell it cheap (though you may have to wait for it to be back in stock, they sell out quick) http://www.securemart.com/cgi-bin/future/THD317418.html?pcode=1 http://www.spacecentersystems.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/268854

Thats like, bigger than a CMstacker. If you don't have the money for a fancy water cooling system, then i suggest one of these. To attach them, i suggest Arctic Silver 5 as the thermal paste.

J jono199 In Runtime Messages 268 Jan 5, 2005 #47 The heatsink looks good, no idea how effective since they didn't quote figures - but it looks like it could be effective. As for the ducting its not a huge load of use to be honest. Makes the inside of the case tidier sometimes.

H Hugo82 In Runtime Messages 476 Jan 5, 2005 #48 Well it was given the silver award for "Best Buy Heatsink" of 2004 on this website http://www.ocworkbench.com/2004/articles/readersaward2004/readersaward2004-3.htm so i assume it has good cooling and it looks much better than the gold winner. The duct is only couple of £, so i may as well get it.

H Hugo82 In Runtime Messages 476 Jan 6, 2005 #50 It doesn't really, but I have a window in my case and i would rather see that than the number one lol.
