Swiftech Kits

Elcs · 05-11-2003, 03:54 AM

I know the general distain for kits around here but Im new to this job and Sidewinder are very kind to do great International shipping. So, I looked around the site and spotted the Swiftech H2O-8500A kit. To me being in the UK, the price seems reasonable and I know Swiftech are one of the better Waterblock makers. Any opinions on any of the parts in this kit? Im still interested in sticking my radiator outside and Id like to know how good the parts are in this selection.

Im looking at a custom set in the UK but its expensive.

Dangeden Maze3 1/2" - £41
Ehiem 1048 1/2" - £39
Thermochill HE120.3 1/2" - £84
Dangerden resevoir 1/2" - £25
5m Tygon 1/2" - £20
Water Wetter - £7

That totals £216 and Id also like to expand to the DD Z-Chip and DD GFX waterblocks into the system but at £34 and £37 each, they will have to wait.

Should my system outperform the Swiftech or is that too hard to say? Any more info anyone can think of will be helpful. Check out here for info on my Radiator idea if that helps you to advise me.

You're paying £84 for a heatercore? Mind if I ask why? Are radiators worth that much over there?

Unless you have been asleep for the X number of years, you should know that the UK pay a far higher price than the US and generally higher compared to most others.

Most Black Ice's are £60-80 as well.
