"The folks at Overclockers Hideout were really the first on the market with a water cooling kit that performed well, was easy to assemble, and most importantly, safe. In fact, if you have been considering using water as a means to cool your system, then it is safe to say that you have probably heard of Overclockers Hideout’s Blizzard CPU Intercooler Kit."

What?!?! I bought the very first official kit a while back by BECooling. It was the original aquastealth. They were great before they started going through 3DCool.com who botched it up. They used this black heater hose that was rubbery and stretchy. The reservoir was a piece of tupperware with a submersible pump in it and the radiator was... um... pathetic

. It is kinda like hte one sold at 2Cooltek. Soon after, OCH released a "radiatorless" system. Those were a joke. They were huge coolers with pumps in them. The theory behind them was that because there was so much water, it would be tough to heat and the CPU would stay cool. This theory worked not so great... On hot CPUs, this water would get HOT! So MadOnion saying that OCH was the first to come up w/ a solution that performed well, was safe, and easy to assemble is just silly. It wasn't safe. There was no radiator. It wasn't easy to assemble as this huge reservoir had to sit outside of your case. And its performance didn't TOUCH that of the Aquastealth. Oh well... rant is over... just that false reporting just to make a nice fluffy intro gets me mad
