    waterclooing is great if you get a good kit! best to buy seperate parts and put it together yourself, 1/2" kit runs much better than 1/4" kit and you do a leak test before you install it in your PC, once you know its not leaking it'll be safe to use in the PC!

    my temp drops 30c underload with the 1/2" kit, but 1/4" kit I had wasnt as good!

    if you can afford it go for it!

    Theres a attachment pic of my setup in this thread!

    yeh i cant have much front either...4 drives a 120.1 and a res :rolleyes:

    if i can motivate myself to try tidying it up a bit...behind the motherboard appears to have some space..then im gonna get a couple of UV's to see what they do to my tubing..my psu cable braiding is uv reactive too...could be interesting :eek:
