I've considered getting a Vapochill also, as I really enjoy overclocking as a hobby.
But I am concerned about day to day reliability? Can you run one of these things 24/7 on a daily basis? Price to performance obviously goes right out the window with the price of these units, I might can get past that. But if using it 24/7 is not an option, I wouldn't want one

It's suposed to be just fine for 24/7 use. However, you could always lower your OC for day to day. And price/preformance ratio shouldn't be an issue if your considering a vapochill.

You can run it 24/7 provided you've set it up properly and it ain't broke. Good idea, I'm thinking of ordering one myself if the X2's prices don't kill me first.

Lol. Be sure to get a pre-modded case if you don't have the tools to do it yourself. THe new mounting kits are much more fool proof, so set up properly isn't as big an issue.

I'm almost finished working on my cooling device which will create a 1"x1" wormhole right above the heatspreader of my CPU, which will expose it to a region of outer space a couple of light years beyond the perimeter of the galaxy. All I have to do after it's done is covertly run a power cord from my PC to the Seabrook nuclear plant.

Wouldn't the intense gravity field around your CPU suck it right out of the socket? Also, I think they would notive and entire city loosing power....
