If you are going to spend over a hundred dollars on a AIO why not get a Swiftech Liquid Cooling Kit they are around 130-150 each? At least then you can start building a completely water cooled system when you feel like it and you don't have to dump in more money for res and pump instead you can use that money for another rad more lines and cooling blocks.

I am aiming for a AIO at the moment and swiftech's AIO are ungodly loud cause of the pump that is with them. I prefer to have a quieter AIO that I can switch out later for a fully custom loop.

I was just planning on taking the fans off putting silent but effective ones on there like the corsair sp140 quiet editions and then figuring out how the pump comes off and using some sort of noise and vibration dampening material on it. A little more work but the end result would be a near silent high powered extremely effective cooling system or at least that is my hope. I have enough foam from taking apart 3 boats to completely sound proof a room probably and more than likely I have a ton of rubber from other things I have taken apart.

well EK has actually released their expandable AIOs with DDC pumps. These are links from the parts store I tend to use (PRICES ARE IN $AUD):

That would be a great option to those without a budget restraint.

It's only $260 dollars in USD for the 360 mm. Its not bad actually.

It's not a bad price at all only 120 more than the 240-x just not a budget item for the poor folks who can only do around 1000 for a build but if the person had 1100+ it would be a good item to add in. But at the same time it doesn't look as good as the 240-x so for my own personal builds i prefer looks with performance and you have to admit the 240-x nails that.
