Looks like a very nice rig. Good to here that is the revised version. I just read a review and it seems to get good temps. If your getting the red case I use this coolent in my waterloop. It has a very nice red to it and didn't change my temps at all from plain distilled water. Cheap a dirt too.

the earlier one, had the problem i think is revision 1, this is totally updated revision and since is not new. i mean they had a lot of time perfecting it. and people trying it. now comes with a 120mm instead of 80mm which mean that i put it in the back and puff... extra cooling for my quadcore...

As far as kits go that one is very nice. Very upgradable as well. Get some extra clamps though. I have heard reports of them leaking.

I just ordered, a nice XPS 630 Q6600, 4G 800 Mhz, Dual 3870 which is nice, according to the HH review.

and I'm already looking which watercooling system i should pick...

I heart my watercooling. It is a high cost of entry though.
