Top performance in a relatively small for factor, allowing for great mods like squeezing one into a mITX case.

Awesome contest! Corsair and Hexus FTW!
I've always fancied one of these after reading about their near silence at ordinary work levels in a number of reviews, I'm not worried about noise when I'm gaming because the GPU fans make more noise than the CPU Cooler and I wear earphones. However I could never justify the price just on that premise so this compo could offer me just the chance I need.
Of course I'm perfect you just need to lower your expectations.
Need a quieter PC, looked into water cooler but too expensive, saw the corsair hydro series and thought, now that's perfect. Reviews becked it up, now please pleaase can I have one please x
Thanks Hexus and Corsair. Loving your coolers as they both keep my cpu nice and cool and my room nice and warm
What's not to like about the Hydro's? The latest incarnation looks great, cooling efficently and quietly. You get Corsair's excellent new fan design, the pump/waterblock unit is remarkably svelte and the tubing, to me at least, looks far better than the old corrugated hose.
So what do you get out of a Hydro cooler? A compact and easy to install liquid cooler that has an efficiency only the most expensive air coolers come close to and uses less physical space in your case to boot.
Just shame I can only fit a single 120mm radiator in mine.
Life is like a hair on a toilet seat. Sooner or later you're bound to get pissed off!
the Hydro: cool, quiet and low maint

I like their subtle, compact design (nothing flashy, no LEDs etc.). Obviously the cooling performance/noise will be much better than the vast majority of air coolers, with the added bonus of being able to be put into smaller cases without worrying too much about height.
As a H50 and H80 owner I like the fact that I don't have 1KG/2.2LBS+ of weight hanging off the CPU socket to do the same job.
What I like most about these is that they would be perfect for my rig which the misses recently made me hide away into a semi-ventilated unit so it's out of view behind doors.
The ventilation in there is not quite adequate and so after a good gaming session it can get quite toasty.
These would be the perfect solution until the divorce papers come through...
I do not go all voodoo on cuddly toys.
I've owned a H50 for about 18 months, so I'm very interested to see how Corsair's latest range compares. I'm not an extreme overclocker, as stability and quiet performance interest me more, and the simplicity of the Corsair H-Series is what attracted me to it in the first place. It's been utterly reliable, has a fantastic build quality and was fitted and working within a coffee-break. It works for me. Plus the best after-sales support is the one that you never have to contact and I can honestly say, that is the case with Corsair.

thanks HEXUS and CORSAIR... hope to win one the prizes
I like the fact it's a water cooler... But it isn't.
Bonus stuff! \o/
I like the fans of the Hydros - having read reviews of Corsair fans, I would have high hopes for them
Thanks Hexus!
Another great competition - thanks Hexus and Corsair
