Having problems with my PMs. Will address the issue tonight, my time, after I get home.

msg was this:

add me to msn: selwyn_cohen@hotmail.com
googletalk: popobag@gmail.com

What's your time now and what time will you be home. I ask this because it's almost 12am here, I'd like to chat a little so let me know what time you'll be home and I'll set my alarm clock cuz atm I'm a bit tired :)

Haha, you beast. :D

hmm popo do you even sleep there?

and they're right about building your own rig from scratch, you could order the standard pc with case and complete innards on air cooling no problem even good
but telling you void warranty by opening said case is crap. there are lots of what ifs involved that you'd have to open you case eventually, like adding a new HD.

and now assuming you have your pc already, then you can start adding your watercooling to it, like they said it, by yourself.
cleaning parts before installing, measuring tubing, modding said case to accomodate what you're gonna put into it, and leaktesting.
and of course the maintainance involved every few months would be up to you.
in essence water cooling is not forced on you, its a hobby thats meant to be fun putting together and serious commitment on your part to maintain it...

now for parts:
GPU: you could also add the BFG 8800 watercooled edition to your list...
Res: still mcres-micro or try out EKs multioption tube type res...

and be prepared to shell out a few more bucks for shipping special products for your watercooling, cause not every store carries every part you might want.

Yeah well I do sleep :p:

Anyways, about the GPU, I rather do it myself since you guys told me to do it myself I want to do everything myself, including installing every block :) and I assume the MCW60 is a better one than BFG has ?

its because you can re-install it again in another video card unlike full cover that's made for a specific card only...

and don't forget the ramsinks to go with em mem chips. the Swifty mc14 or Evercool F117 copper heatsinks would do fine. just be sure to clean chip surface properly before sticking em sinks...
