Most of the Thermaltake and CoolerMatser stuff is so so - doesn't do the job all that well and I don't know if I'd trust it to see the year out.

I started with a £50 aquarium pump submerged in a bucket, yellow of course. No fancy fans or radiators just good old fashioned radiate heat to ambient and evaporation, lol. The open bucket works quite well in the short term but is prone to collecting all sorts of airborne dross, dust is bad enough but flora and fauna too :(

The Swiftech MCP350 is a badged Laing DCC. Solid, reliable and there are a number of bolt on tops that give a wider range of connection options, some of these tops include a small reservoir. There was a simple solder trick to convert the 10w model into an 18w model but I think Laing 'fixed' this.

Thinking about the all in one kits, Corsair and CoolIT have packages that receive good reviews. The down side is that the pump is built into the the 'cooling head', some plumbing would be required, I'm unsure of the metal mix and I don't know what kind of flow you'd end up with. The up side is possibly cost and you can always mount the 'cooling head' to your frame gaining some passive radiation :) or even drill the head out! The kits vary, but this looks sweet http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...57&subcat=1395
