Cooling Curiosity

Just wondering if anyone out there uses liquid cooling for the CPU and/or video card. If so, which "brand" and any comments regarding their performance?

<------ does

i got the swiftech h202-c setup, its wonderful...really cool, only thing is the radiator is over 240cm long, so you have to plan where to put it... very quiet, hella cold, very nice block, only downside is kinda expensive... swiftech has some good stuff, www.sidewindercomputers.com and www.swiftnets.com for stuff

Thanks Pond! #Robot

Just visited their site.
Ooooh! Haven't seen Swifttech's before! Nice!
Are you using the quick-connects or barbed fittings, and are you running it at or below room temperature?

From what I've seen, other systems run ~$250'ish.
Might be worth a look

its the quick connect kind, no leaks except when i forgot to connect 1 hose installing it and was liek "hmm this tube holds an awful lot fo water" to find it was going onto the floor...heh... the cooling setup was $210 i belive, but it was some kind of "last one" sale...im sure if you show around you can do pretty well if not better

Damn Pond that is a nice setup. This is one of the setups I suggested to silverone when he first expressed interest in H2O cooling. The fill/bleed system on that kit is awesome.

yeah i love that, my only sort-of complain is the radiator is so unwieldy you need to realyl pan where youre going to put it, and on mine it resulted in the fill-bleed thing being in a great spot (whee) so i turn the comp on its side, the block is in the right orientation to flush, and the knobies are ont he top...gotta flush it out pretty soon, now you mention it... bah gotta buy another $0.89 gallon of distilled water :< hehe

Dont know if you need case too but Bushido sent me a link for koolcase:
http://koolance.com/products/product.html?code=CCS-A07 ...looks kooool to me thats the way I'm gonna go.

If you don't want whole case I believe they have just components.
