Consider the XSPC Rasa kits. Grab some Primochill 7/16's ID tubing, and you're set. No need to worry about many parts unless you need to make some sharp turns with the tubing.

Leaning towards the $300 kit just because it does include the raystorm block; just a little wary of the fans as they're probably some no name stuff. Then again the rx360 does perform great even at low speeds. I don't have a problem with noise, my 6950 idles at 2000rpm lol.
Will try to find some Gentle Typhoon AP15s. I can get some AP30s here but the voltages to get them running are a bit too much and I don't need them to run
that fast.
Thoughts?
I like the looks of the Dual Koolance Res and the FrozenQ Helix Res but they're over $100 each and still don't include a pump. Yeah, WC is going to terrorize my wallet. I'll upgrade the res next time.
