    Yeah there sure is lol.

    Even by looking at that pic you can tell the CPU block has been worn hard and is corroding.

    If you are going to get a kit I strongly urge you to get a Swiftech or an Alphacool kit, it will cost you more but you are getting quality and far better performance.

    g_f_a you should have a look at the kits they have at www.pccasegear.com, they have both Swiftech and Alphacool kits at reasonable prices. They are based in Melbourne and the postage is fairly cheap if you need it.

    I also see spam.

    I would go for Cooler Master, Swiftech, Zalman, or Koolance (more pricey, but whatever). Thermaltake stuff seems kinda gimmicky to me. I also would not buy from a previous owner, because things tend to "relax" when they become older, and equipment can be prone to leaks.

    my entire system is thermaltake, it works perfectly as it has for years now. the only issue I had was with the same pump included in that kit, it crapped out after a year and a half. I bought their newer style pump/res combo and havent had any issues, works flawlessly. so to the TT haters out there

    fixed that list for ya!

    i would take out aphacool from that list too, kits at least. some of there parts are good, pump tops. the only good kit maker is swiftech because they use there individual parts to make a kit. its more of a combo deal than a kit.
