You want a kit, or do you want the best performance?

Actually leme back track....

I want something that will cool better than traditional fans. I want to run a machine in a hot environment with proper cooling to keep it running efficiently.

Price limit?

A crappy (read: just as good as normal air, but with water in its name) water cooling setup will set you back about $100.

Gigabyte's system is good for its $150 price tag and then after that you start going into Swifttech and Waterchill area which go from $200 up to $450.

This is about the best budget system for water cooling you're going to find: http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-wat-92.html

Now, I dont think water cooling is ever nessacary for a stock clocked system. I think tradiontal air cooling (check Zalman's 9500 for a godo queit but great performaning solution) is plenty unless you really want to OC.

I think he is worried about overheating because the outside air temp will be hot which normal fans wont work very well if its already over 120 degrees somewhere.

I seriously considered this, however, I'd be worried about humidity/condensation within the fridge..... might be worth the test though.
