The Koolance ones are made out of sheet metal (I know because I have one). The Aquaduct is mostly aircraft quality aluminum blocks machined on a CNC mill. The side extrusions are part of the passive water cooling and the radiator and fans are the active cooling part.

Even if you didn't have the Aquaero to measure water levels and flow the sides have flow and fluid level indicators that can be checked visually.
