Swiftech, a long time established company providing PC related cooling products, recently announced a compact, easy to install, water-cooling kit targeted at people new to water-cooling and the lazier group of enthusiasts looking for hassle-free cooling performance for their computers. Termed H20-120, with the 120 indicating the radiator size, it consists primarily of Swiftech's new Apogee Drive Waterblock - a 2-in-1 pump + waterblock assembly. Slightly larger than a common waterblock but nicely sized to fit over a processor, it does away with the necessity of one searching for space within the confines of one's case to place the water-pump. And with the water-filling part integrated into the radiator, there is no need for a reservoir. And so the 2-part water-cooling kit can definitely be termed compact, very true compared to the offerings in the market right now.

Water Cooling has never been this easy - marketing talk on the box, but definitely arguably honest. With the exception of Xigmatek's All-in-One Liquid Cooler

Which performed poorly, this is definitely the most compact water-cooling kit, and most hassle-free kit I've tried.

Even though the kit isn't big at all, there are quite a few components in the bundle. You've got your green-color coolant in a small bottle, bunch of screws, a small tube of Artic Silver Ceramique Thermal paste, the 120mm Radiator, 120mm Fan, Apogee Drive Waterblock, 4 plastic Hose Clamps, a pair of black flexible rubber hoses and an AMD socket mounting kit. The Intel LGA 775 mounting mechanism is embodied into the Apogee Drive itself. Not shown is the Installation Manual:

Clear instructions on what tools you need and how to setup the watercooling in the manual.
