:D thanks, guys. i just updated with some more pics...
i'm not using a cooling kit... it's just some cooling parts that i pieced together. i made a post about it in the laclede's lan forums in your thread.... the parts i suggested to you were what pieces i've got in here (minus the maze4 block)
i'm using pentosin... it's a coolant used in audi's and volkswagens (r.i.p. my 1999 volkswagen passat )... it's supposed to be some of the best stuff for watercooling. unfortunately, the blue isn't uv reactive, so i've gotta buy some uv blue drops and add a few into the system. i'm using 9 parts distilled water and 1 part pentosin.
i'm about to overclock my cpu... someone finally showed me hands-on how to do it. made way more sense than reading through all the damn tutorials online.

Justify? There's no justifying being 1337! You just do it! Do we really need windows in our cases? Do we really need UV reactive cabling? Of course not! We do it because we can!
Like I've got room to talk. I've built probably 5000+ systems in my life and I've never built a water cooled PC. But I'm working to correct that issue. It's going to take some patience though. Research, research, research!

thanks, guys....
i'm running my cpu (opteron 165) at 2.8 ghz right now... i'm about to bump it up to 2.9 and see how it primes.
i also upgraded my ram to 2 gigs of gskill pc4000.
and i upgraded to an x1900xt running at 680/800 quietly with the accelero x2 on there.
now, all i need is to wait for the uv blue drops to come from xoxide...
i used a little too much arctic silver on the cpu, so my cpu is idling at like 30C.... that's pretty high, especially when it was idling at 23C before i reseated the cpu.
