So, I looked in the clearance section (water cooling) and saw ...

the WaterChill KT91-L20 5.25" Hard Drive Cooling Kit - 120mm Radiator/Fan (link ) for £35. I noticed that this appears to be the same kit as the WaterChill KT03A-L20 Antarctica CPU Power Cooling Kit - 120mm Radiator/Fan (link) apart from the HD block instead of the CPU block, which costs £82. The HD kit seems like a steal to me, because I could sell the HD block and snag a CPU block second hand from the MM. Am I missing anything?

Well, I've gone ahead and ordered. I'm not expecting much in terms of performance (the same as my Evo33 wold be just fine) as long as it's quiet. Just seemed like a cheap introduction to watercooling.

I had an older Waterchill setup, the one with the single 120mm rad, other than the leaking Northbridge block which was quickly replaced directly from the manuf. it was a pretty good kit, CPU temps never exceeded 35 degrees even under load.

That's good to hear. The HD kit has the 120mm rad, so hopefully it won't perform too bad. I'm hoping that, all in, I should be able to get my rig water cooled for £50 odd.

Stuff just turned up. Box is quite heavy. Now I just need to source a waterblock for my CPU.

Nice find. There was a Vapo LS in b grade for £235, was sorely tempted
