Looks like a relabeled Swiftech kit to me. Any reason why I shouldn't just buy my stuff straight from Swiftech? |

Swiftech kits are still too complicated for the average Best Buy/CompUSA customer. Too much assembly required. I'm surprised Best Buy actually sells aftermarket heatsinks at all (they all really suck though). Maybe someday watercooling will find it's way to mainstream outlets, but in general the average Best Buy customer doesn't even want to open their PC up, no less put water near it. It amazes me that I can make $150 for assembling a computer for a coworker in under 4 hours, when an hour of it was installing and configuring XP and other applications and another 2 was screwing around with it.

Back to the topic, more exposure for watercooling is better for us - getting it closer to mainstream means lower prices. My inlaws still look at me as if I am crazy by putting water in my computer. But they didn't mind when I built them a nice overclocked XP2500@2.2GHZ. Once the average Joe accepts W/C we will all benefit from it. |

It took less than an hour to assemble it. The other 3 - 3.5 hours was spent installing XP and screwing around.
