All in all, regardless of how you do it, watercooling is cheaper.
As long as nothing goes wrong. And you will still need some type of airconditioning. Or the room is just keep getting hotter and hotter. The only difference between air cooling and water cooling is the heat is being displaced somewhere else. With air cooling it is on the HS which is blown out of the case into the computer room. With water cooling it is routed to the radiator. If this radiator is in the same computer room it will also displace the heat into the computeroom. If there is no airconditioning the room will continue to get hotter and hotter either way. You have to remember water cooling doesn't change the amount of heat being displaced, it just moves it away from the source faster.

Now if the rads where placed outside on open air then you are good to go. But then you have to figure out all the tubing and what not.
