As ctrlsteef's review of it went, make sure your ATX connectors are long enough... :lol:

I like the Lian Li V2100... ;) And the Chieftec BA-01 - it's absolutely enormous, though: will definitely give yourself a double hernia trying to LAN with it. :lol:

Fans suck - go water cooled.

Thermaltake makes some of the quietest & highest efficiency cooling systems for just about the lowest prices that can be found.

Hmm, naaaah. I don't want water anywhere near my expensive hardware.
I know how clumsy i am. :wink:

Haha :D

So far iÃ‚Â´m satisfied with the fans. The noise level is at a minimum and I havenÃ‚Â´t done any OC yet but in the future iÃ‚Â´m going to and then I will look at another cooling solution.

cuz,

The nice 9& safe) thing about TT water systems is that they use compression fit screw couplers - not spring clips - for all the connections.

Doesn't matter. I know for sure i'll spill water into my system. :lol: :wink:

I guess Dutch booze & PC watercooling don't mix :lol:

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 24 Feb 2006, 15:09

Actually it does. But i think "beer cooling" your system isn't really good for the hardware. :P

If you want quiet, and aren't watercooling - don't get a Coolermaster WaveMaster! :shock: Three 80mm fans in the thing, and it sounds like it's going to take off! :twisted:

If I can't switch back to my nice big Chieftec soon, I'm gonna go watercooled. Damn the warranty on the case. :lol:

Hahaha good one Doug and ctrlsteef :lol:

Maybe, if you spill enough beer, the pc will think it's the best one ever made, and will automaticly overclock way over it's limits! But then, it would still brake down.... (but you'll have a super computer for like a split second!)

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 24 Feb 2006, 15:42

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to enjoy that split second since you would be electrocuted instantly. :lol:

my water went fine! :P installing in second position is taking some mathematics though! HDD remount, removal (for various reasons) of parts etc etc, it coming togeather but slowly :P

Lol I just remembered a funny story when you guys are talking about spilling water and beer in your system.

I have a bud who has a family run custom cabinetry shop (http://www.baioccocustom.com shameless plug!) and I built a few systems for them and taught him how in the process. Anyways, he goes to put in new ram or something one night after work, and of course he's drinking a beer as he always is at work (lol) and he spills the beer right onto the motherboard.

He's not an idiot, and he understands that any type of stuff on the computer is going to short it, so he tries his best to dry it up using compressed air and stuff but the idiot doesn't wait long enough though and of course turns it on and poof, it's toast. The dumb guy should have at least waited until the next day for it to dry...oh well it was an old comp anyways.

Haha :lol: :P

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 25 Feb 2006, 14:02

That's exactly what i'm trying to prevent. :lol: :wink:

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 25 Feb 2006, 14:54

If I had the money, I'd run a non-conductive fluid in a watercooling setup. That way even if it did leak, it wouldn't knacker the hardware. :)

It's finding enough of the stuff, though...

transformer oil :P

& a pump that would not cavitate with fluid of that viscosity :shock:
