its a good kit in my opinion to start off with, but i can't comment on the pricing because to be honest i never bought a kit.

looks okay ....

i'd swap teh black ice pro for the Extreme though or the BI2 if you have the space as they have been tested to be a lot better than the pro.

Not sure about the block .... thing is you are pretty much stuck with danger den or innovatek in the uk. As for the reservoir I'd either have a very large capacity res (maybe out side case) to maximise volume with possibly the 1250 pump, or a tiny custom res just to catch air bubbles .... otherwise, whats the point ? its only taking up space. As for teh fans i wouldn't use anything other than papst.

If i was starting from scratch i'd get a whitewater and a Dtek heater core and 1048 from Dtekcustoms as everyone seems to rate these products very very highly. You'd have to DHL it but im sure it would be worth the wait and the extra shipping cost. In actual fact, i intend getting those items evetually to replace my original innovatek kit ... you live and learn i guess !

also, if you want somethinmg different and VEEEERY nice looking then have a lok at this stuff... the cuplex block has been tested to be almost as good as the innovtaek P4 block and the aquacool large rad with x2 120mm fans shifts a LOT of heat.. it came top i think of a huge rad shootout somewhere but i dont have the link to hand:

The res there is simply awesome as well... okay, pretty pointless but add in an LED, stick it on the font of your case or the top and you'll have the best looking mod out there.
