Too much hassle to maintain, just get a normal side panel.

Does the fluid need changing quite often? Is this the only thing that needs maintaining?

Every few months, I used to have water cooling and fancy lights, got fed up and went back to air though.

Why do you get pubes in your computer?

I dont know whos they are but when I clean it out there is always some hair clogged in with the dust.

By the looks of it seems to have 5hdds.
could be looking at a couple of terabytes worth of memory.
thats a lot of porn.
also with all that watercooling looks like it needs a turbo to go with it

You've got some good x-ray vision if you can see any hdd's in they pictures.

I don't profess to know a lot about water cooling, but isn't the example (in the pics above) a bit pointless if you still have to have several fans running in your PC? I see 7 fans in those photos.

ya but you can have low as fuck temps when you overclock your system.

I like looknig at water cooling, but I'm not sure if I could ever do it, too much dust and crap at home and the whole mixing water with electrics doesnt make much sense

In the first pic. looks like 5 hdd caddys, possibly hot swappable

obviously cant see what mem they have but if you're running a watercooled pc im guessing its a high amount of mem.

theyre not caddys, they are the brackets that hold the optical drives. I can possibly see one drive and thats at the bottom and its an optical drive at a guess.

My original setup was completely silent, as in not knowing if the pc was on or off unless you were hammering the hdd, water and graphics cards don't mix though

If i decide to go with 2 x ATI Radeon 5870s + possible overclocked i7 920/930 then I suspect things WILL get hot inside the case so water cooling + fans may be a must, unless i get some cutsom made case with masses of fans on the roof side and back.

If I was ever going to go for maximum power I'd just splash out on one of those phase-change coolers. Properly cool temps

Like a few others I've always liked the look of watercooling but you can get very quiet air-cooling components so not really worth the risk.

Those Corsair cpu coolers look ace and are meant to give good results, found a deal the other day with a 800D case, the cooler and a decent Corsair psu for just a tad over £300.00
