Well and when it finally hits market, it's going to cost a lot. I mean with all theses claimed advantages, who would not try to capitalize them?

In my opinion, I think that this would cause mold problems with any extra water that didn't evaporate or come out of the blocks. Humidity is a huge factor in mold production, as well as dark places. A wet, closed loop with a waterblock is the perfect place for that. Reading my post again I notice t...

Well what I do if I need to store my watercooling parts for some time is to flush them with some distilled water and afterwards cutting short parts out of leftover tubing. I connect these short parts to both connectors of the individual parts, so that no dust can enter the parts.

If you have enough money to spend, I'd suggest watercooling the hdd's. That way you could put them in a box that is totally sound-proof (or at least sound-proof enough ) without risking to overheat them! Should eleminate your biggest source of noise...

The S12 are really silent. I've got an S12-330 myself and I'm not able to hear it at all (even during the night). You are offered a brand new PSU for an old one that's making noises, sounds like a very good deal. Remember that you'll void your warranty when you open up the PSU, which you'll most lik...

Fanless PSU's often need at least some airflow, otherwise they will likely just heat up very much. I would suggest using one of the recommended PSU's like the Seasonic S12 which I'm using myself. I also am watercooling my system with an Innovatek set (single radiator + cpu + hdd + eheim pump). Fanne...

There are also always good prices for students (school, university,...) and teachers. It'll be the full retail version of XP plus a little sticker that says: Educational Version. If you apply to any of these groups, that might be worth investigating. You'll have to search a bit for a retailer, but c...

where does the water pick up its impurities from? metals, tubes or what? Those would come from corrosionating metal. There are very good anti-corrosion fluids on the market (Innovatek Protect for example) which, if used correctly, make corrosion a non-issue. They are cheap, too, so I doubt that the...

I'm very sorry but I don't think that any of the temperatures you stated is high. CPUs are typicaly rated for 70-90°C and gfx cards (the new one's) are often in the high 60° range if not 70°+ with the stock cooler. I think your stated temps are nothing to worry about, even if a lot of overclockin...

It might be your RAM that is the faulty part. I've build and troubleshoot lots of computers and your description seems to fit. The really annoying part is that for no apparent reason, it sometimes works and sometimes does not. Just yesterday I repaired my gf computer which suddenly failed to boot. F...

It will most likely not run at 900rpm, because the psu doesn't regulate RPM directly, but regulates the voltage feed to the fan. Thereby it is most likely you'll get a different amount of RPM. RPM simply are not all that matters, I guess, if you are feeling keen enough, you should just try it and th...

that would be the same type of overkill! Your fans only need 12v and about 2-3 Watts per fan max. You can get the exact ratings by simply looking at the sticker of your fans. wallplug (word?) style powersupplys are more than enough for this task and I'm almost sure you have one lying arount (they co...

hey, not to attack some of you ppl, but I think you should've tried the things you are speaking about before you actually speak about them 8) I've been using water to cool my rig for more than 3 years now. Of course in the beginning it is quite expensive, but the coolers are so powerful you don't ne...

the guys over at http://www.mp3car.com run epias in theire cars and they run them off their batteries when the engine is off. look into theire forums for detailed information, the general idea is to use a 12v dc-dc PSU

hey all, I've been planning my case for quite some time now and finally come to a point I need some help with. First off some general information. The case will be made of MDF build onto a wooden frame, it will be cubic. There are going to be at least 3 chambers: One for the motherboard and PCI-card...
