Water cooling? Which one?

Which water cooling system would you suggest me? It MUST look nice, cool
at least good as Zalman CNPS700A-AlCu, and (optinal) have cooler for
GPU.. Here is what I was thinking about:

Zalmas Reserator 1

Thermaltake Aquarius III
http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/aquarius/a1681.htm

Does anyone have any experience with those? I'll use it for overclocking.

Thanks....

Significantly worse than the CNP-blahblahblah


Thermaltake Aquarius III

Not too great either.
Both are more gimmicks than good water-coolers.
If you merely want to match the CNP-blah's cooling, why not use
the CNP-blah? If it won't fit in case, just grind it down a bit.
use similar good heatsink on videocard, one with large low RPM
fan rather than tiny higher RPM fan.
Unfortunately trying for something really pretty is quite likely
to result in poor cooling results. Others don't choose ugly
parts on purpose, rather what works, within their budget.

I have used the aquarius 2 but havn't tried the 3 it was ok, the cooling
was not great but was a little better and a little quieter than the big cpu
fan i had on it previously.

I now have the resorator system, Its not setup yet so I can't give you my
figures but if your looking for pure cooling performance the reserator is
not the way to go. However if you want decent cooling that is silent and
does look good then the resorator is fine for you. When my new gfx card
arrives (6800ultra or x800xt, whichever ships first) I'll be using the vga
block to cool that as well and from reviews and reports from other reserator
owners it will do this and keep it a much lower temp than the stock coolers
on those gfx cards.

An addition to my previous post. Both systems are overclocked. The
Swiftech system has a P4 2.6C running at 3.4, and the Koolance system has a
P4 1.8 running at 2.6. The temps stated in the previous message are the
temps with the system overclocked. There is only a 2-3 degree difference
between stock and overclocked.

I have the Corsair Hydrocool 200X unit here, it works great *8)

Check out the Koolance Exos Al. Quiet, efficient, portable, and looks good
too.
