I have to agree with SysCrusher.

For me it's easy.. I spent to much $ on gear, and I can compare with 6.5mm, 8mm, 10mm and 13mm systems.... (I have an EXOS who I use for my HDD's and GPU)
I placed this exos also on my WW, and my temp went up by 5 degrees.
that's little difference... if you look at the gear I have to cool for those 5 degrees..
(1x double heatercore, 1x single heatercore, 1x Blackice extreme,4x 12cm PAPST at 7v, MCP600)
(and yes, with a room temp below 27 degrees, I don't need the fans to run at all, it's enough volume to run passive)

It is that I spent to much money to take it all out...
I also have an innovatec set, a Hydrocool and a asetec waterchill.....
temps are close (as long as I use my WW).. only the noise level is different.

I can not call my systems 'low end' systems. but they are available "out of the box"
the question is.. is "out of the box" a 'low end' system.

Maybe it's better to make a section of high end systems.
I don't mind spending 200$ on a pump, but most of the readers of this forum buy their whole water-cool system for that.

But most of all important: Playing with water is fun!
