I have had a series of Corsair AIO's. I currently have a Corsair H80i GT, which I bought for REALLY cheap open box at Microcenter. I could not go any larger with my case at the time, but now I have an NZXT 440, so I can totally accommodate a 280 mm rad. My real dilemma is whether to continue on with Corsair AIO's, or to upgrade to EK/Swiftech, even if I only do their kits. I had a custom loop briefly on an AMD 8-core (XSPC block, Swiftech rad, Koolance res, Bitspower fittings with PrimoChill tubing and a Danger Den pump). I had to sell off the loop (and all my spare parts, watches,...) after a layoff and bankruptcy. It sucked, but survival and all that.
Now i wonder if a custom loop is worth the trouble, or if I should simply stick with AIO's.

SkipPeA custom loop is definitely worth the money/trouble in my opinion. I know a lot of people like the Corsair AIOs but I feel like their pumps are noisier and less reliable than a lot of ones you can get in your own loop, even those that come with kits.

LevelSteamYep, an open loop design is much superior. It's quieter, cools better, can be expanded to cover extra graphics cards and such, and can be customized to fit your style. However, even the most basic cost at least twice as much as a high end AIO design, they're harder to set up, and leaks are a very real threat.
A lot of people, myself included, just don't have the budget for one, and even fewer have the time/inclination to do all the research that's required. AIO coolers are a good middle ground for these people.

Morrowind542Yeah, cost is a big prohibiting factor with any custom loops. As far as leaks, I would actually trust a custom loop filled with pure distilled water or other non-conductive fluid due to a bad experience I had with an H100i that sprung a leak in one of its connections to the CPU block. For the most part I don't really hear too many horror stories about AIO units so I probably just had some bad luck with that one.
