well some more choice would be good, as the copper/alluminum combo thats currently on sale is a pita waiting to corrode. what about some by swift tech like the h20-220, somthing i want atm :mrgreen:

or what about doing single parts so i/we could mix and match parts to build or own kit.

Should sell better kits

There are some really good shops who specialise in water cooling and don't sell motherboards or CPUs or anything like that at all - it seems there's not really a single place that does everything.

I've never had problems with corrosion, despite using Copper blocks and Aluminium radiators - as long as there's decent coolant, there's no problem.

Also remember this - may entire H2O setup cost something in the region of £200 - the kits Aria have are less than 1/3rd this price and offer cooling much better than an air cooler - if they're installed and maintained correctly, then they'll keep cooling better than air for quite a long time too...

i know there are some great retailers out there who do just wc products, but i thought the whole idea of this part of the forum was for us to express which areas we would like you to improve your product lines, and as such help you become a better outlet too.

how much of the total cost of your loop would of been profit to the place you got it from? the coolant in these self contained loops is somthing you dont know and its only after use you will find that out but i am guessing that its not that great seeing as these kits are the budget end of the market.

if you dont mind me asking phatty :) what have you got in your loop?

Most of my tat is off eBay - apart from the fluid and hoses - no idea about profit - I imagine about 30% - but there are so few people who buy watercooling that the specialist companies are probably tiny!

I use Red Feser One cooling fluid - http://www.feser-one.com/site/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=258 - it turns out it's pretty non-conductive and tastes awful. Because of the sheer volume of my system I had to get two bottles and use 1.5L in total - so I've got a little spare...
