Im not sure about the Aquarius III but the older models were total crap TBH.

The Astek kit that BeatFreak has just gotten looks pretty decent, the CPU cooler is based on the WhiteWater design which is one of the best coolers on the market. With systems like that or the Innovatek kits that can be installed inside they seem like a better option than the external TT solution. (you could even just mound the Rad outside the case).

Im just not a fan or TT, ive found most of there products to be very very noisey (supposed to be silent).

I havent seen any good benchmarks of the TT Aq3 yet, so if you come accross any post the link please?

It looks pretty crappy.. Not the design or colors, but the implementation...

Single 80mm fan.. You gotta be joking.

Elbow connectors for the tubing, both on the PCI card slot and the unit itself - very bad.

Quite frankly, if you want an out-of-the-box kit, go for Asetek or Innovatek.

If you want something really good, with a bit of DIY - go for DangerDen.

Trust me on this one - a bad water cooling set up performs worse than a decent air cooling setup, and it's much more expensive. You'll want something that you can upgrade, and water cool your graphics card or hard drive etc. This thermaltake yoke looks like it can't even cool a CPU decently, nevermind getting a few more components into the loop.
