I would like to chime in here that the kits have made great steps in improvements. Gone are the days of the Iceberg-1 type of kits that were too small and under performed.

Many of the kits are internal. However, there are a few good external kits. The external kits keeps any leaks (if they happen) out of the computer. Two of the top performing external kits are the Koolance Exos-AL and the Corsair Nautilus.

The Nautilus 500 is competing very well in price and performance. It's easy to setup and later very easy to flush. The kit is very flexible for modding.

If you're looking at a kit, the Nautilus 500 was made for LAN gamers in mind. The quick-disconnects provide the ability to be portable.

The Koolance Exos-AL is very much like the Nautilus 500 with the quick-disconnects and being portable too.
