Is one of the XPSC kits pretty decent? Looking at one with the Ion Pump/Resi because it seems to be a decent size to fit in my case without much issue.



Yeah, a Raystorm kit from XSPC is decent. The Ion pump is perfectly fine for a low-restriction loop (i.e., one block and one radiator), but not if you want to expand your loop down the road to add a GPU block, extra radiator, etc.

EDIT: if your case has room for a 360 rad, you can have an alphacool ST 30. Coyote gave two of them to me years ago, and I'm replacing one with an EK Coolstream XE 480 on Wednesday. I also have a Raystorm block I'm not using.

I don't think there is a good spot for a 360 in a FD R4. I may take you up on that though and get a new case and use this R4 for the media server that was formerly the MAME setup. Was just gonna dump it in a budget case. Want to keep something simplistic like this, but I would like to have one bay for a dvd drive. Seems like everyone is removing these bays completely. I get it, but I have a ton of old discs and like having access to them. Got any ideas?
