They want how much for it now...? £255 
Can't believe how close the temps with the D14 are to it in the 4ghz and 4.2ghz test, spending £195 more than the D14 for a few c* difference is a joke

Not quite no, watch the video again and look for the part where you can see where the base part screws into the frame.

I had watercooli9ng for two and a half years and I wont do it again in a hurry. That kit looks like what a beginner needs and its much tidier than a kit with four pipes , but the pump is too bloody loud and its too expensive for the temps it gives.

I'm in the feline crowd when it comes to this stuff.
So if I give you the opinion of the type of market these "kits" I'd imagine to be targeted at, i.e. the inexperienced who wants to pay 1 fee and have everything they need and not keep jumping back'n'fore on forums to be n00b-reminded they haven't bought something. (cos I think if you're experienced, you'd bit-select parts ? )
Anywho, if the difference between this kit and the other one recommended in the review is both performance and price - this one "shouldn't" sell.
£100 or whatever cheaper, a willing beginner will surely favor the other. Unless of course, the other kit disappears off the market.
