Feeling wet behind the ears when it comes to liquid cooling? If so, Thermaltake's hoping to ease your trepidation with a new line of liquid cooling products that includes a special version of its Level 10 GT case and two additions to its Bigwater line. All three products are self-contained, all-in-one units that are purportedly easy to install.
First up is the Level 10 GT LCS case. It's the Level 10 GT just as you know it, only with a built-in specialized liquid cooling system that consists of a new generation drive bay unit and interconnecting waterblock with a pure copper base.
The Bigwater A80 is an all-in-device for those who already own a case. It's pre-filled with coolant and outfitted with a low evaporation tube so you needn't worry about refilling it, making it maintenance free. According to Thermaltake, it's also dead simple to install and works with all modern Intel and AMD sockets.
Finally there's the Bigwater 760 Plus, which is a new 2U drive bay liquid cooling system. Thermaltake says it's intended for "advanced LCS lovers." It consists of a quiet pump that pushes 500L/H, 12cm blue LED fan (1600-2400RPM), and water reservoir.
All three will be available in August. No word yet on price.

My old rig had a big water cooling the cpu, north bridge, and two ATI gpu's in crossfire. Kept up with a mild overclock on each piece of hardware. Temps went out of control if I pushed it obviously but all in all it worked well. I do like the fact that it looks like they put the fan control knob on the front of the unit. Mine was inside the case and was a pain to get at if I just wanted to adjust the fan speed.

Hmm, never had much faith in Thermaltakes liquid cooling solutions. Will have to wait and see what reviews show from the new lineup.

Knowing Thermaltake, it will be ineffective, leak, corrode (copper waterblock with an aluminum rad is a big no-no), and generally not be worth the money. You'd be better off with a proper custom cooling loop, those all-in-one units that Corsair and Antec sell, or even good aircooling.
Edit: After actually looking at the A80, it looks like Thermaltake jumped on the all-in-one bandwagon. That one may be a decent cooler. Skip the others, though.

I laughed hard at that; after owning a couple of their awful fans I don't think I'd trust anything else made by them. That's one ugly case too.

Never understood the point of adding LEDs to cooling stuff.

It is not a regular Level 10, it is the Level 10 GT... You guys almost took my breath away. For a second. I really did thought it was a newly remodified Level 10. I still feel the regular one looks prettier than the GT version. Hmm, I wonder if the tubes will be long enough to fit onto the original Level 10.

if not, they all seem to have standard tension cloamps, no reason you can't get tubing to fit on your own, even if it's not the low porosity tubing that's marketed with them.
