2x1G Buffalo Firestix
Apogee waterblock

As far as overclocking goes:

*edit: I have pushed it further(3.8gHz) but I can't keep my memory stable, any tips on that would be helpful :)

And the whole reason for this post, temps. Idle is around 30C and under full load I get a max of about 45C.

Nice water cooling :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I almost pulled the trigger on that case, but decided to go mATX instead. I guess that case is currently about as small as you can get in the US while still using an ATX motherboard. I was also looking at an R310 (http://www.justpcusa.com/R310.htm) and an iCute (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=97188&doy=17m1&C=SO&U=strat15) with an interesting 250mm side panel fan, but neither were really available in the US anymore. The Lian Li was the only 'mini' ATX design left (except for a steel Inwin that I didn't like). I guess they don't sell well. Everyone is either going large or very small with no middle ground. Instead of dealing with all that I just went with a Silverstone SG-03. I love that bottom forward PSU placement. All cases should have that. Very nice. And it reminds me of how little room I'm going to have in my SG-03.

What kind of tubing is that?

Nice, I might have to copy that for a HTPC!

Thanks for all the replies :D

The tubing im using is horrible, I got it from home depot. its thick (3/4" OD), stiff and its already cloudy.

That heatsink looks really tempting, but it might hit my res...
