I believe these general statements apply too:

Air cooling performance < Water cooling performance (with few exceptional cases)

Air cooling costs < Water cooling costs

Air cooling complexity < Water cooling complexity


Maintenance I'm not so sure, but with water cooling you have to ensure the pumps, fans, tubes, liquid are all in good condition (working, topped up, sealed etc). With air cooling you only have to make ure the fins are clean and the fan is working. All these takin into equation, I think another comparison to add would be:

Air cooling reliability > Water cooling reliability

Cool and bling factor, totally subjecive of course. ( = Though I think most would agree that water cooling, being more complex, is ore intriguing to look at.

If you don't have a clue about water cooling... stick with air cooling.

Otherwise is a waste of money.
