Asetek is no stranger to boutique OEM builders, and the latest rendevous involves iBuyPower teaming up with Asetek to deliver the "first and only liquid cooling solution for [Thermaltake's] Level 10 tower."
"When iBuyPower decided to liquid cool the Level 10 chassis, Asetek's Total Solutions Team was quick to respond with the guidance on how to optimize liquid cooling performance in this unique chassis," said Steve Branton, Asetek's Director of Marketing. "This is our commitment to 'Thermal Management Done Right!'"
Marketing goofiness aside, it's no small feat integrating a liquid cooling solution into the Level 10. Individual compartments and an overall unique design makes mounting a standard liquid cooling apparatus nothing short of a challenge.
Stepping up to Asetek's liquid cooling solution runs $20, which for the time being is negated by a $20 mail-in-rebate offer.

I have the Asetek LCLC in my Acer Predator. I love it, I get 17°C Idle temps and it never goes above 30°C on a AMD Phenom X4 9750.

if that is the Asetek cooling system, it looks strangely like the Corsair H50, without the Corsair Logo printed on it...

Corsair partnered with Asetek to make the H50, so these are probably the same coolers. The H50 retails for $70, s this is actually a pretty great deal.

And I can testify to just how very effective a cooler the H50 is since I'm running one on my i7-920 overclocked conservatively to 3.4GHz with load temps at just 58°C in a 71°F room.They run so much better with a push/pull fan config pulling air into the case from the outside.
Bestbuy was selling the H50 for $59 not too long ago.
As Norm said, Corsair had Asetek design the H50 for them and Corsair just slaps their name on it.
