Watercooling Advice

My friend wants a water cooled setup, he cannot do it himself so he is thinking of this setup: -

Thermaltake VB5001SNA Tai-Chi SuperMidi Tower - Aluminium

Is this case any good? Advice welcomed cheers.

Cheap inneffective watercooling is what you have there. Better results will be had from a scythe ninja (Not just value wise, ACTUALLY better performance).

To justify the extra expense of watercooling you need to buy a decent kit, one of the swiftech ones from ocuk would be a good investment but the best is a custom components setup. What do you mean "He cannot do it himself"? Why not?

So it isn't difficult considering he's never built a PC before?

It's not ideal no, but watercooling like that has no reason to exist other than to rip off people like your friend. A decent £35 heatsink and fan will perform a lot better than that kit.
