Great starter kit for water cooling a PC

Pros: Keeps my system nice and cool, is stylish, and doesnt stick out next to my huge Lian-Li case (the case is taller by one inch)...
Cons: the unit comes with a pinhole in the cap for pressure relief... if the fluid you use readily evaporates(Alchohol) in the environment that your Reserator will be in then be ready to refill it on a semi regular basis...
Overall Review: At first I went to use distilled water and then water wetter with distilled water... that didnt work... the water wetter must have been a bad batch as it took on a gummy consistency within a few minutes... so I flushed my system... several times... and used the blue windshield washer fluid from Walmart... it runs smoothly now... and even dropped my temps further than when I was using distilled water straight at first... also... as alchohol is good for cleaning materials and the main ingredient in the fluid... it cleaned all the tubes of the latex powder, left in after manufacture to keep the insides of the tubing from sticking to itself(no longer a concern for me now that it is in use), and deposited the powder in a layer atop the fluid in the resevior(along with some left over water wetter gunk)... so I wont have to worry about the stuff possibly(not likely) clogging the pump later on...
The Biggest Case around

Pros: This case is huge... which allows me many more options as to how much stuff I want to cram in there... also due to the size... it is much easier to get at components in this case which makes upgrades and installation of components so much easier
Cons: The front USB ports cable to the MB is too short and wont reach for my ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe MB... customer service for the company told me to visit some site to get a longer cable... the site didnt have it... so... I went to radio shack... and a little solder and extra wire later... works fine now...
Overall Review: If you want to stick a ton of stuff in your case (water cooling, extra power supplies, removeable hard drive bays, many optical drives, up to 12 internal hard drives) then this case is for you.. Also be careful of the edges of the side panels... they will cut you if you arent careful when removing the case from the box... my suggestion... angle the box to let the case slide out on its own...
Four Drives in Raid 0

Pros: Drives dont run hot, are quiet, and fast.
Cons: I want more :)
Overall Review: I've had four of these drives for six months in a Raid 0 configuration yielding 1.1 TB of useable storage with fast transfer rates... their performance is exceptional and beats out my friend's two 74GB Raptors in Raid 0 in both speed and storage capacity... I make the comparison because at the time he bought his Raptors the price for the two of them was equivalent to the price of four of these drives... :)
Great LCD Monitor for a lower price

Pros: Great performance... I run this in native 1280*1024 resolution at 75 Hertz typically under the DVI connection... off a NVidia GeForce 6600 card... I'm definitely buying Acer next time... oh and no dead or stuck pixels on arrival...
Cons: I dont know why they bothered adding speakers... they sound tiny like they ripped them out of a pair of headphones
Overall Review: I switched to this from a VGA CRT and when in DVI the colors are amazing... when I switch back to its VGA setting the colors just seem so muted now...
Flawless Operation for over 6 months

Pros: It just works how a KMV is supposed to...
Cons: mount it to your desk somewhere or you'll lose track of it
Overall Review: USB which unlike PS/2 you can remove a keyboard from it while your system is running and then reattach it and it will reconnect flawlessly... PS/2 on the other hand isnt guaranteed to in my experience(sometimes dropping connection just by switching)... which usually meant hard reseting the machince if it was a stand alone... and because those problems are a thing of the past I am truly happy with this product
I swear by it...

Pros: I only wish that stock thermal pads worked as good as this stuff... but silver and other good heat conducting materials arent cheap...
Cons: nope
Overall Review: The sheer amount in this tube is only for those of us who intend to attach a heatsink to every single heat producing chip in our machines
