Ooops, I ment to say "I'm upgrading to THIS:", not the "NOT" part...

I don't think I would ever buy a computer from a manufacturer anymore. I enjoy building my own and being able to upgrade the hardware whenever I want without having to buy a full system. I would have to much hardware laying around, even though I already do.

Going to pass this computer down to my wife, thinking about getting a new liquid cooled case since I've never had one before. Does anyone know if the liquid cool cases are a big hassle? Are they more of pain than what its worth? I'm used to using nothing but fans, and thinking about combining the fans with the liquid cooled system, but it sounds risky when you have any kind of liquid near your hardware!!! My hardware is to expensive to have a few drops of coolant dropping on it....

Have had it for like 4 years or so, but since summer 2007 I decided to drop it. Coolblocks and parts are pretty expensive, and if you tinker a lot to your setup, then youy need to recheck your watercooling everytime you change something. This because a hose or w/e might have moved and decided that it owuld be funny to drown your hardware.

I've had a couple of times in which the system did start to leak, and only one of those times any hardware failed. That just happend to be a at that time very expensive Geforce 4 Ti4600 Sad
Eitherway, if you got the money for it, and don't mind spending a day tinkering to get it tested and running, than watercooling is great.
It's very quiet and still cools like a charm. Got a TRUE 1336 RT on my core i7 920 right now, but it still isn't that quiet. Might however be my GFX as well (ATI HD4870 1GB OC edition). All this in an Antec p182b


Perhaps you should consider the water cooling system as an investment, the more you pay, the more reliable, kind of a thing.
