although i can see the point in such things as the Corsair Nautilus500, as long as it's well put together
after the PSU i'm planning on watercooling the ball bearings in the fans...
Pre-maid kits such as kits from Swiftech/Corsair are in a whole different class than TT...
[i5 2500K, ASrock extreme3 gen3, Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1600MHz, Palit GTX570 Sonic Platinum, CM HAF932, Antec Truepower New 650w]
Not to mention a top notch aircooler would be less expensive, and probably cool better too.
Obsolescence be thy name

Well the Nautilus is actually a high quality WC kit, one I'd definitely buy for a secondary machine, because I really don't have another $300 to do a second custom loop.
no need to be insulting.Are you illiterate? Read my post! OK, maybe you need pictures.

from that first picture looks like /you/ tightened the barbs in too tight.
those easy fit barbs are horendous though, really hate them.

think my big water came to £75($150), cheaper than the nautilus and came out earlier.Well the Nautilus is actually a high quality WC kit, one I'd definitely buy for a secondary machine, because I really don't have another $300 to do a second custom loop.
only trouble with the nautilus is, anything goes wrong and you're pretty scuppered :S

Sorry but I hate when I post being helpful only to have people not bother to read what I posted.
I had TWO of those blocks crack . . .on different rigs. The blocks cracked after six months to a year of use. Not from overtightening, I am sure of that. TT uses way to thin acrylic . . .that is the problem. Compare to a Danger Den block.
Here is a COMPLETE TT system except for a DD GPU block (it was my wife's rig as well):
The thing that pisses me off is that both times the leak soaked GPUS that were top of the line at the time (Geforce 7800s). Both cards were salvagable but it really does piss u off if you know what I mean. I am just trying to save you the same headache bro. Better to be proactive.
