Surprised I haven't seen any opinions concerning this water cooling kit:
http://www.atruereview.com/silentstream/index.php
I think it's been out for awhile. It's supposedly very simple and very affordable (US $80), and it looks like it can be installed in just about any case, as it's extremely small in size. I'm sure it doesn't have the greatest cooling properties in the world, but my fans are getting old and starting to make a lot of noise on some 1ghz machines I have, and if I could get a few kits like this one (and they actually work) that would be a great way to get rid of the noise.
Has anyone tried this product yet, and if so, how is the "silence" factor (it is "silent stream," after all)?
Global Win "Silent Stream" watercooling opinions?

I haven't used one , but it's a definite loser.
First of all , the rad is very small , I doubt if it can cool anything without a fan and is insufficient for a high powered component , even with a fan.
Secondly , the pump is very small and on the waterblock.
So , it's not expandable (that pump couldn't possibly handle 2 blocks) and there is no possible way to dampen any pump vibrations.
In a single word , NO.
