A good quality Air cooler will be cheaper and quieter, like the Noctura NH D14 or the Phanteks PH- TC14PE: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/h100i-elc240-seidon-240m-lq320,3380-14.html

The H100i is noisy and expensive. Check out the reviews that I listed above. The 2 air coolers that I listed above will cool just as well as the H100i and are much quieter and cheaper.

Go with the Noctura NH D 14 or Phantek's PH- TC14PE.
