    That vaporchill system looks tough to beat for cooling but I bet it costs as much as an entire computer.

      Well to tell you the truth, I am concerned enough about having to replace my entire system by a leak from one of these cases! I have spent a good deal of money getting my system right and can't afford to replace it just because I would buy some water cooled case meant to keep it cool and it turn out to have a leak! However.....If what you say is true and there actually IS such a case that the water cooled parts are totally self contaained from the MB....I would consider that! But that would be my ONLY choice as far as water cooled systems were concerned! There is just too much that could go wrong with a system like that to NOT take precautions! Remember...water and live computer parts DON'T MIX!!
      Here are my specs:
      System Specs: ATX generic case with Antec 550 watt power supply. ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard. Western Digital 7,200 RPM 40 gig IDE Hard Drive.(NTFS- file system) AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor.(standard fan and heatsink-Thoroughbred Core-standard speed-NO OVERCLOCK) 1 gig of Samsung DDRAM(PC 2700- 333 mhz....2-512mb sticks running in dual channel mode).Ati Radeon 8x 9600 XT (8x is enabled on motherboard). Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card. Motorola sb 5100 cable modem (Insight Communications-Cable Connection) BenQ 16x DVD- RECORDER.(records -R/-RW or +R/+RW and CD-R formats) LG 52x32x52 CD Burner. Zip 100 internal drive and a generic 3.5 floppy drive. Windows XP Professional Operating System. I also have a HP Deskjet 3520 inkjet printer and a KDS X Flat 17 inch CRT monitor.

          Shepps: I got watercooling, big advantage = my computer is so quiet!
          Expecially when some of the water gets on your computer and fries everything out. Then you computer will be extremely quiet! :laugh:

            here is the link to the water cooling that i was talking about.
            Its not pretty but it works, plus no assembly required so if you fry something, you could always make them pay for it.


            hope this will help

              I know with my cell phone my i90c. If i drop it in a bucket of water i have the insurance on it to replace it for $35 bucks. Does anybody know of any insurances offered for water cooled cases?

              Second off if you have to flush your system ever 3 to 4 months most people will prolly do it every 5 to 6 months that means you have to uninstall everything flush ur tanks and then re pressurize ur system. My machine might sound like a Hoover but not a wet shop vac.

              Any thoughts.

                Actually if you've done the setup properly then a flush should require no uninstalling of anything other than replacing the fluid by draining and refillin'. You also do not pressurize a watercooled system but you do have to bleed it of any air in the lines, radiator and cooling blocks though and once again should be easy to do if the installation was done right. ;)

                  What about Insurance like my phone.

                  Does anybody know what acrylic goes for bye the sheet and if u can order sheets online. As well as what colors you can order.
                  Im going to start Window MOD's with my computers but instead of buying a simple boy scout kit. I want to go all out so down the road after i mess up or fix up my cases i can start charging for it.

                    was visiting a friend today and playing around with his new Prometeia system... very fun overclocking a 2.8 ghz p4 to 3.8 :D
                    and keeping the core temp. below zero.
                    with his alpha heatsink + peltier we only manage to 3.2 ghz.

                      A very nice setup there. :thumb:

                      But really, if I was goin' to attack some extreme coolin' I think that this would be my weapon of choice. ;)
