What he said. My friend built his and never tested it before actually putting it to work on his system. It had 2 leaks and shorted out his mobo & CPU. My suggestion is to buy a case with one already installed: [url="http://www.xoxide.com"]http://www.xoxide.com[/url]

And yes, they are very quiet. The hum of the water pump is about 1/4 of the noise of a fishtank filter.[/quote:471f8]

I agree with Joe, if you're going to go watercooled, get it preinstalled. That way you have a warranty if something goes wrong and are not out of pocket for hundreds of dollars.
