Watercooled PCs!

I've been running one for over a year. I really need to take it apart and clean the green gunk out of my flow meter. The front of my computer looks like one of my aquariums
Mine came as a kit from Thermaltake. It's probably the first one they made
The radiator is on the inside of the case with the fan blowing out, not mounted on the outside like most are now.Ick....kits. Particularly thermaltake kits. They're neat, undoubtedly, but unless you want them for the quiet factor they're less efficient than a good thermalright (not thermaltake) heatsink and a nice strong 92mm fan.
Custom built WC on the other hand...mmmmmm!

I'm seeing some pretty innovative heat-sinking lately. I will be either building or buying a new PC within the next few months and I was originally thinking I would go with some liquid cooling but now I'm thinking I might just get into some of these crazy looking heat sink coolers such as the Vigor Monsoon II or the Thermaltake V1. Haven't decided on video cooling method yet.

I have:
Apogee gt waterblock.
Hydor l30 waterpump 1200l/h.
This 6w/12vDC 12mm fan.
Homemade deposit.
And an opel corsa copper-aluminium heatsink.

I wasted money on a good heatsink that i never got round to sticking on.
If (when) i have a fairly substantial lump of cash and want to build a new PC, im going to go the phase cooling way me thinks.

You don't want to do that. Trust me.
here's mine - Link Removed
i posted a thread on it last summer, lots of pics
Holy! thats sick awsome! i could live without the plasma ball though
Dry ice is a pain in the a** it is pretty much just for benching, nitrogen is better if its meant to be used daily

heh the plasma ball is teh r0x0rz. heh.
also, from my experience, phase change generally denotes any cooling that will bring the temperature of the coolant below ambient. i use a peltier on my cpu - oc my fx60 from 2.6 ghz to 3.2 ghz and it still maintains a 0c external temp..

these kinds of units are pretty sweet - i was gonna get one with my comp but they wouldn't fit with the case i got.

Good god, looks like a microwave I'd expect to see on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
