Your best bet would probably be to go with a Koolance case.

You can find out more information here: Koolance

A good place to purchase it would be at Xoxide

speaking for myself who has a custom watercooling setup that costs about $300 I would tell the average consumer to bow down from watercooling because of the time, risk, and complexity of it all.

if you choose to try it then the easiest way to go is to get the aquarious from thermaltake... its entry level, cheap, and ok performing... if you want easier then go with corsair's exteral unit all you gotta do is hook up the cpu unit and turn on the "box" ;)

good luck

why water? why not just get a faster chip, and if you have the fastest, wait a little and they will come out with another for you to waste your money, the you can give me your slow chip......are there any advantages besides o/c? is it for a silent pc? if so, what't the deal with a little fan noise?

So you demand neither top end speed, nor silence from your computer? And you're here why....?

i demand reliability and if i want to go faster, i will buy a faster chip. i sit in a room with atleast 3 computers running all the time with atleast 3 fans per box and i don't even notice them.

3dmark 03 is my fav game... Sometimes I mix it up w/ a little SiSoft Sandra... I use a gamepad for that though.

Water cooling is for the following reasons imo, It allows your computer to run cooler, possbily overclcok better, most of the cases gets great overclcocks with it, water cooling also allows for a very silent running system, it also allows you to have a real cool looking inside of oyur case :) and soemthign i like is the fact that water cooling systems last a long long time, a w/c system will keep going long after a cpu fan is gone.

What's that liquid stuff called? The one that doesn't conduct fluorinet or something. If your rich get a tub of that stuff and just stick your motherboard in it. Just leave the drives out.
