If you don't know what it means or how to use it....what are you going to do with it?

It's a watercooling setup from these guys: http://www.xs-pc.com/

Does it fit your current system? Do you need it? Do you know how to install it?

i have a NZXT 810 Switch case i know it'll fit my case, just wasnt sure if it was a full water cooling system or not, which i still need to follow up with the game if so... as to if it works n what not

Fitting the case is the least of the issues. Is it a complete setup? All the hoses and couplings? Is it in semi-good condition? Does it work? Does that block fit your current socket?

And primarily....have you ever built a custom watercooling setup from random parts before? How strong are your DIY skills?

that was really one of my biggest questions as to whether it was a complete cooling system. Also the condition in which it is, just went him a follow up email asking about these things.

As for my DYI skills i would like to say very strong since i've been building and repairing computer all on my own for almost a decade now.
