Never got into casemodding. I prefer my PC silent without blinking lights, since its in my bedroom.

Watercooling looks great. A little expensive though...


we used the recycled bong water to cool down the PC's over here.....

I still have the video you sent me, with one of Tom's hardware guy cooling down is PC with liquid nitrogen. That was crazy.

yeah that was nuts...they clocked the speed at 5GHz for a 2 something chip.... :shakehead:

Ah yeah, I remember that vid. Now I wouldn't put a custom built tube onto my mobo/cpu. Maybe little less extreme, I know people run on dry ice n stuff. Not my thing, while they aim at the highest OC possible post, I just want to be able to run it safely 24/7.

maybe i should make a photo of my now empty tower...it's saddening :puppydog:

Dry ice, first time I've heard that. I don't really need a faster CPU anyway. My 2 cores are usually around 30% used.

Well this pic sums it up, it's a mess : reservoir and cpublock sitting there without work,
removed the GPU block from my 6800GT else I'd get kinks in the tubing. For now I'm using older mobo in this tower, my good ol AXP2100+
am I lucky that I still have this, I was about to sell it on ebay :victory:

looks cool like the interior of a club.

Cool. That's a big pump. A 2100+ is still great as long as you don't play games like Fear. :)

New wireless router with a built in harddrive. You can set it to download from web, ftp or bit torrent with the PC off. :)

Asus WL-700gE

lol, interior of a club? :hehe:

Normally I don't have the blacklight on though, thank god it has a on/offswitch, I turned it on for dramatic effects :naughty:

it's not a big pump, I think all Eheims are the same size but this one is submerged into reservoir thingie.

When I get my current mobo replaced, I'll pbb buy another mobo, as I have 2 chips sitting here: A64 3000+which ran at 2.5Ghz and the brandnew X2 3800+ waiting to be tortured :shamefulcry:

Got the X2 4200+ with an Asus A8N-Sli Premium 6 months ago and its working great so far.

Nice, I'm still on an NF3 (MSI K8N Neo2) board because of my vidcard, before this I owned a 6800Ultra, this 6800GT was a bargain cost me only €150. So there was no reason to move to NF4. this X2 was my final 939 upgrade. (till next year when I'm buying something totally new)

my X2 3800+ was only €130, before the pricedrop I wasn't interested. Hopefully it will do 2.7Ghz :fingerscrossed: certainly cheaper than buying an all new Conroe rig atm, which requires me to buy new expensive mobo, cpu, ddr2 and vidcard.

Looks like you're cooling your CPU with heavy water.

When you said you were using dual cores you weren't kidding. :hehe:

lol

Better shutdown this computer then, before you get the U.N. Security Council on your back. :P

I see. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to have a quad core. :naughty:
