I don't know about how these all in 1 WC kits are, but I remember water cooling pumps were the least reliable thing on earth. We have the Laing DDC which after several revisions still has problems, some mini 40 dollar DangerDen retail pump that had basically every single customer who gave it a rating come back to say it died...and then there's sealing. Most pumps that people used were not very good for watercooling at all, such as the D5, which is more of a low pressure pump. The DDC was fine, except a big proportion seemed to burn out and the ones that didn't had startup issues. Tubes tend to eventually stretch out, so I don't know if they can guarantee no leaks over the lifetime. I think it's a bit scary to package every CPU with something like this, when most consumers will have no idea what is there and that it probably needs a little more attention than an air cooling system.
But then again, if anyone were to bring a reliable product to the market, it would be Intel. I might just be overconcerned.
