Even the best of liquid cooling systems will lose some coolant due to evaporation, especially if your rig is a gaming powerhouse that runs hotter than the sun's core. If it's sealed you're just screwing yourself down th eline because you'll never be able to replenish that liquid coolant. A 20% decrease in coolant will render it less useful than the crappiest air-cooling solutions. Super-rigid hoses also mean good luck to you if you ever want to swap out hardware in the future.

Well designed air cooling with case airflow management beats liquid cooling every time in terms of cost, reliability and lack of danger to your hardware. Liquid cooling still can't bring your hardware below room temperature, and even the very best of them needs good-sized fans to pull heat from the radiator.

It's a novelty, nothing more, nothing less. I replaced my last liquid cooling set-up with a $60 fan with 6 heat pipes and a copper block and the results were lower CPU temps and far less noise and more space in my case.
