I'm looking for a cpu cooling solution...maybe water? But the thing is, my budget is about 100quid. Is it possible to piece together a very simple water CPU cooling system for under 100 pounds? Or am I better off getting something like the Titan Amanda? I'm just worried about space in my case and the heavy mounting...also it draws a fair amount of power and I'm not sure if I should push another 60+watts on my PSU.
 
For £100, stay away from water. For that money you will only be able to get a low end water system, which might only be fractionally better than a good air system, but a lot more hassle. I'd look at something like the Schythe Ninja or Tuniq tower or possible the Titan Amanda(But I don't know how well that performs yet.) What case and PSU do you have?
 
Well from all the reviews I've been reading the Titan Amanda is pretty amazing.

Kept a pentium D at 4.06 ghz running at 42c under load!

My case is a Thermaltake Soprano and mobo is DFI lanparty ultra-D.

My case has the side window with an intake fan and I'm wondering if the titan will hit the fan because it's so tall...

My other thoughts were the tuniq tower....
