The WhiteWater is only $10 more than the MCW6000 for an Athlon XP block, but will you notice any difference? Most likely, no. And with the emphasis put on affordable, my vote goes to the MCW6000 (which is also why I bought one). The TDX and RBX are so close they're effectively the same as the Swiftech in my book. Depending upon which site you go to, the Swiftech and Dangerden blocks swich positions (I do have more faith in Procooling's tests though). But you won't see 1C difference one way or the other until you get up over 100W of heat from your CPU. Your rad and fan decisions will make more of an impact on temps than TDX vs MCW6000. Best bang for the buck goes to the MCW6000.
