swiftech H2O-220 Compact

[steveo]

right i would just like to say i no jack all about watercooling, i would like to be able to order the parts to do a custom rig and be confident enough to build it myself but am not (not yet any way) i would like to do it in a 1 year or so but for now am looking at kits and mainly swiftech as they get great reviews and brill temps but for cost am looking at the swiftech H2O-220 Compact which can be had for only £120 plus postage now for that you get this

i no it doesnt look pretty but from this review it does the job on q6600s. now my original idea was to mount the rad in the top section of my case in the dvd drive area but alas the rad is to big

so am left with mounting it outside the case which is better in a way i guess now what am thinking is that if i cut out the right 80mm fan at the bottom above the psu i can pass the pipes through there and up through the cut outsections like so

thoughts ideas ????

just a suggestion but with that kit there wouldnt this be a better option?

custom kist are said to be better than most premade and atleast with this kit you have the option to upgrade your rad and watercool your graphics card?
i see you have a couple 120mm fans there you could bang on the rad so get rid of them off of the list and its around the same price as the one listed, hopefully someone a little more clued up on water cooling can tip you on this.
If you really are not that confident enough to build this kit i wouldnt bother yet id stick with high end air and wait the year and do it custom from the start. though looking at the review you posted it doesnt come prefilled you will need to fill and join it your self in wich case defo build ya own as all it will be doing is plonking the pump on top of the water block wich is never good any way as its small and not as good as a custom one.
