Don't bother. Those all-in-one designs of that nature aren't worth it. They're easily outperformed by a good air cooler.

Note that you need to but a 92mm fan for it as well.

If you want ice cold, go with liquid nitrogen

If you want a great cooler for your BE, get one of a few things:

Your Zalman's big brother.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118019

Direct-touch Heatpipes (The heatpipes ARE the base)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233003

CoolIT Pure (TECs "chill" the water...not their best model, but much more in your price range, and no fuss as it's a sealed system)
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=23094

Or, get a watercooling kit from elsewhere from a well-known brand known for WATERCOOLING (Alphacool, Asetek, Coolance, Swiftech - their Compact kits are nice)

Check this place out for watercooling: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php

The HR-03 R600 should work just fine. it can be mounted 2 ways. One is the traditional way, where the fins are on the same side as the gpu, and the other is where the fins wrap around to the back of the card.

take a look at this thread and see if any of the information can help you.

If you want a decent setup I would go with:
Fuzion WB for the CPU
Maxe4 for the GPU
7/16" ID tubing
Distilled water with a few drops of either PT Nuke or 91% Rubbing Alcohol
Reservoir
2 fan to 3 fan Radiator. If the Thermochill radiator cost to much I would get a Swiftech or a HW Labs. However from my experience the Thermochill cools the best with fans running at a lower CFM (quieter fans).

i thought the whole idea was to have higher CFM, (More Aire Pushing Out)? You know where i can get some of that stuff.

Which stuff are you referring to, high cfm fans, low cfm fans, or the stuff I complied for you in my previous post? If so, you can look at the thread, they should have links of where to buy.

Two of these for the GPU
http://www.dangerden.com/store/produ...&cat=47&page=1

One of these for the CPU
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/fuexpecpubl.html

To be perfectly honest with you. Is there all-in-one system that's Pretty good.

DangerDen does have a kit you can buy but I recommend the FuZion for the cpu though. It's totally up to you how you want to go. I try to keep purchases down to 2 different sites. Trust me I understand the added expense on freight.

Sidenote:
Are you sure you want to go with a full waterblock for your videocards? If you decide to buy a different set of video card(s) you would also need to buy waterblocks for them. Something to think about. If you decide to buy the Maze blocks instead (the low profile for CF) you would need to install the front/back blacks onto your cards so that your PWM gets some sort of heatsink cooling.

No reason at all to pay almost triple for a fullcover compared to a GPU-only block. MCW60 is cheap and pretty much nothing touches it for what comes to cooling performance. On top of the price and performance advantage a GPU-only block is reuseable as it can be fitted to almost any card, whereas fullcover fits nothing but the card it's built for.

That dangerden fullcover has a horrible design anyways, the surface area that's supposed to cool the GPU is ridiculously small. If fullcover is what you want then go for a block built by EK.

Hey CrackerJack, yesterday i was reading your post ... and i was truly decided to get a kit like Swiftech H20-120 compact, a nice and cheap one ... but i arrived to the shop and they hadn't at that moment, so i decide to build my own, almost costed 30-40 EUR more but now is installed and i'm proud of the performance, a cheap pump ... not the best but a middle-good radiator ... and for the waterblock, i was thinking on DD, Swiftech or another known brands ... but the guys on the shop recommend me highly this Enzotech SCW-1 that i'm using right now, it's REALLY MIRROR FINISHED, more than you can get with 2000 and polish compound ... trust me, and for the performance they say it can be placed on the way as DD, D-Tek or Swiftech and sometimes a little better, and i think it's true, here's a review and the official page. You can get it for 60-70 $ (at the shop i payed 63.50€) ... here and here
