According to the SwiftTech Web Site the Kit reviewed in the article costs around $200 - $250 depending on the specific model you buy...

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to get the Evergreen Thermagic kit? It's only $99 bucks and seems a lot easier to install. Of course, the Evergreen kit doesn't have green cooling liquid (actually, the liquid isn't visible).

I guess if the look of the cooling kit is more important to ya, the SwifTech one might be worth paying double for. I'd personally prefer something quiet (the whole point of buying these kits) that doesn't consume a lot of power and is easy to install. Seems like the Evergreen kit is the better deal.

Anyone out there own either of these kits? Any recommendations, preferences, horror stories?
