Need recommendations for LIQUID COOLING kit.

[-=l32andon=-]

Can anyone recommend or help me find an effective water cooling kit? It's for my current rig. (AMD2, dual GPU) I plan to hopefully be able to use it on my next rig real soon(Intel quad or dual core, most likely a P3 setup, also dual GPU) It does not have to be a kit, If someone can recommend the blocks, pump, rads, and etc that'll be great. It'll be my first venture into water cooling, so any help or advice will be much appreciated!

Budget?

Oh darn, can't believe I left that out. Between $200-$300+. Also I would like to have an internal setup. Quality parts & brand would be nice. If you can help, thank you.

Swiftkit or DangerDen or Koolance

DaMulta, I see you list the TT Bigwater in your specs. Hows the performance? I'm really interested in getting a DangerDen kit.

My only first hand is with Koolance and I'd probably get another one when the time comes. I got the PC2 case (turnkey kit), with a CPU and GPU block. Pros and cons:

Redundant pumps, though new models don't have this
Safety features - system will shut down if sensor detects threshold temp exceeded
Fan termal demand loading and three fan modes - it's quiet.
Excellent waterblocks, though finding reviews is nearly impossible
Great case design (modified Chieftec) and setup was a breeze

Cons:
Heavy case
Radiator wasn't removable to clean (I fixed that by replacing rivets with screws)
New models are expensive

Worth considering I think.

Edit: From all I've read, Exos is a really good performer, but I don't like the idea of an external box hanging off of my PC. I'm constantly in it or moving it.

Thanks for the input Sasqui. I'm also not for the external setup, I'm going for the internal setup. No drilling, cutting, bandaging, just preferably screwdriver in hand and tube connecting. I want to put together one that I can unassemble for cleaning or anything else. Anyone have experience with DangerDen?

swiftech or koolance those are the good ones. you can even build your own since your budget is 200-300 dollars.
