cheap all together (but real) liquid cooling kit

Ok I am looking into liquid cooling for my pc. I want an external radiator unit that I can set on my desk and then have 2 pipes going into the back of my system into a waterblock on my pc (pc is higher than desk). I want a real liquid cooling solution but it seems I cant trust anything. the h50 IMO seems to be garbage (same for all the rest of them) too many leaks i hear of, too high price for low performance, and air coolers easily beat them. koolance is the only brand so far that I have trusted but the problem is they dont have any all in one external kits.

I am looking for one for an lga 1366 that is EXTREMELY trustable. I know that as with everything there is a chance of failure but basically I want soemthing in which I cannot find a horror story of it. All the horror stories for air cooling is "fan stopped and pc turned off" or something but with liquid cooling you hear "it leaked and now my video card, mobo, and cpu are all dead"
 
Watercooling and the word cheap do not coincide with eachother unfortunately I'm currently looking for parts for my cpu and gpus, but have a look at the xspc rasa 760 that tom just reviewed

I agree with Sources, it will not be cheap if you want real and good water cooling kit/setup. So your looking for a all in one external set up? Is your case out of room? There are a few external all in ones out there, but I don't know any I would say I would recommend. But here is a couple that I found searching for them. Zalman makes this one. And this one. Silverstone also makes one.

But as you can see, most of them are expensive also. But I can understand you might not have room for a rad in your case, but do you have 2 bays free in the front of your case? If so go with the one that Sources said. Tom did a review of, and its one the front page of OC3D. It is a good system, and it will do the job you want, and you can mount the res on the exterior of your case in the back. Its fairly easy to install. And you will just need to buy the water for it.

I like the first zalman one but I dont know if Icould trust it. as for the one tom reviewed, where can I find it?

and yes I know no such thing as cheap but I mean cheap as in under 300$. I look at a nice koolance system its 200$ for the external unit (cheapest) and then another 100$ for the water block and then you have to pay for tubing and clamps and liquid and who knows what. so in the end its a goof 400-500$

Where do you live? I live in the US and can order it from a couple places online. And as kilobravo said you can get the one I mentioned before from xspc site.
