Yeah & the odd/minor exploding issue
That's the main thing that worries me about going the Eco route actually, even if it is markedly better.
By all accounts (mostly hearsay admittedly) their customer support mechanisms are horrid...
With Corsair, if you can demonstrate that leakage damaged your gear, then they'll reimburse you that amt.
CoolIT I believe will only do an RMA, they won't help you out with any gear that's been damaged.

Don't get what the flamewar about closed low-end LC systems is about.
It's not meant as a competitor to DIY LC systems, but for high-end air.
Project TJ07 WeeMaan edition in progress...
i7 920 @ 4,4ghz, P6T Deluxe, Corsair Dominator 6Gb, HD5870, OCZ Vertex 60gb + Samsung F1 1tb
Heatkiller copper, EK 5870, Thermochill 120.4, DDC 3.2
Just a few comments to the OP:
I've been reading this section for almost 5 years now.
Watched water cooling parts evolve, the guys test them and honestly it's gotten to the point that if you want to do a good water cooling system it's almost mindless on what parts to choose.
Sure, there are small differences in water blocks, then performance in rads based upon pure performance or which works better with what fans but when you digest it all it's really simple and what these guys build so smokes any "prebuilt" that it's not even funny.
Sure it costs more than the prebuilts but you get what you pay for in this life and generally the systems used here last much longer than the prebuilts.
I think this is what Naekuh was trying to allude to but worded it incompletely.
Plan $300.00 fora good water cooling system and your right in the ballpark of a system that should last close to 5 years or more.
Good Luck.
