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.

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.

I could of swore I responded to this. . . eek:

I've installed 2 systems myself for people, and they both are running fine. But for myself, I'd rather have them done preinstalled, as Jedi said, for the warantee info.
