That look really nice, i'm sure you're like a small kid waiting the fedex van to arrive :D
I'm not convinced by the TT products but it's up to you to try them, anyhow the most important part (cpu, mobo, vid card) are the best out there

sweet! looks very nice.. let us know how the SubZero works, i'm curious
antipop

Yeah i'd like to know if it allows you to oc. I doubt that it's better than a good hsf
Very nice gear! GO on, get it on the bench, dont worry about the case!!!

edit- had a look at the Tt cooler and the fan guard looks like it will bock a lot of air.
nice little design though, have ing a HSF to cool a small peltier :D

I mainly went with the Thermaltake SubZero4G for 2 reasons. 1. I've never used anything but a bog standard HSF before, I'd never even heard of TEC before reading around these forums a couple of weeks back, so I wanted something VERY simple. 2. 3Ghz is gonna fly anyway, I'm more concerned about keeping noise levels down, which according to a video review @ 3dgameman.com this does a great job of :D

You won't have the same temps as with a regular tec as it is controled to not go below dew point to prevent condensation, but tell us how it performs. It's a good idea, now let see if it works

Well, the system is now built and I have it running stable at the specs in my sig.
The SubZero4G went down the drain, it didn't even work! So I'm currently using the stock HSF and seeking a better air cooling solution, but still, I'm very happy with the results I am getting :D

Pretty nice scores. Too bad the pelt didnt work. Are you gonna return it?

Hell yeah, it's goin' straight back! The weather here right now is very hot and humid, not a good time to O/C at all :(
Im interested in that SUbZeroG, its like £120 here, fairly good and no condensation protection needed.
Could be what im after.

Craig CCW for that price it's a rip off, you can get a very good wc that will perform much better than that crap
a very good watercoolnig system would cost in excess of £200 unless you know something i dont?

If yuove got space, do watercooling like I am. Cheap! But i should get good results, check out my thread in Liquid Cooling.
Never knew argos would have the essentials needed for watercooling :D
