Yeah I've heard the 420's are fast. The new Xps 630's are crazy, and finally dell made a computer thats fully customizable. It's and ATX design so any atx motherboard can fit in the case if that need ever arises. I want one so bad I have to say, for dell, the Xps line isn't bad at all.

that water block would be the swiftech pump/water block combo unit. ive heard mixed reviews of it, some say its a decent block, some say it puts more heat into the loop, some say it vibrates to much.
