Yea, had to keep it cool because I was pushing the limit of the processor. If you have money and time, it is fun to build. I haven't even touched this thing for 2 years the water inside looks muddy :D
Water cooling is a fun project. I don't think it is necessary unless you are a overclocker who is looking to get more performance out of his system. Water > air for cooling but it is also more $$$
I did mine just to have fun and experience.
I am gonna whore my rig :)
I have a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card for sale. If you are still using on-board sound this is a great upgrade. It really makes big difference when it is combined with headphones while gaming or listening to music on speakers.
Asking $40 shipped to your door.
Ncix still sells...
