dont water cool unless you know what the hell you are doing, plus doing that you might as well double the price just to start. Plenty of good conventional heatsinks out there for a fraction of the cost.

no cd/dvd drive, no floppy, no lan as far as i can tell, so depending on what kind of internet you have you will need a modem or a network card. i can also bet that the power supply isn't that great and might need to be replaced if you have it for a while. don't know a ton about intel chips but i think that is an older core so upgrading there might be limited.

that said the rest of it looks really nice.
the hd is a great brand, in fact i have 2 of them in my comp right now, different model tho. memory is good and room to upgrade, video card has room to move up. really good for the price, but you will have to invest in the things stated above. minimum $100
