I went with liquid cooling for noise purposes mostly. Almost all the parts I used were Danger Den. My case isnt very big, so fitting everything in was a small challenge, but it all went rather smoothly. Both my CPU and GPU are hanging right around 30-35 C. Here are a few pics.      -------------

lol @ preach and double lol @ xen (on the date comments) as for color, preach, i think he was trying to match his cleaning products. i'll have to try fabreze on the pc ala xen. btw xen, you sure you're getting dual channel on that ram? sure it depends on your mobo but most ddr setups i've seen have the ram in a1 and b1 slots (unless your slots are actually interleaved). btw btw, carpet is always the best place to work on static sesitive electronics. ;) nice work btw btw btw xen. -------------

I rip my computer apart ont he carpet haha, I rub my feet on the floor with socks on and even use Magnetic screw drivers... All in hope that my computer will just stop working so I have an even better reason to get a new computer haha. This six year old machine is at it's limits of being upgraded by me.
If all goes right, I think i'm getting a new one anyways in about 2-3 weeks... But is it really worth getting a new computer when my gaming time is down to such a small amount? Or seeing as after PS I prolly wno't buy many new games...

well my pump has a potentiometer, i can hear the pump and water in the reservoir when i have it on 5 (max). With my radiator, it seems to stay coolest at about 2. I hear my hard drives over my pump and 2 fans. I did get a small leak (few drops) last night from the radiator fitting (luckily at the bottom of my case), but it was just a crooked clamp. No other probs as of yet. -------------

I'm thinking of going to an auto parts store and picking up a cheap heater core to see how much cooler it will run than my radiator, though I would have to make an external box or add on to my case to fit.
