Much agreed with saratoga.
Insulating them if they were running chilled water would be quite a challange i must say.

That is true, it would certainly suck. I love the looks of those things, and it wouldnt decrease the performance of your computer by cooling them. It may cost alot, and perform just as good as a $5 fan, but they still look cool. It's like paying alot of money for a paint job on your car. It wont make it run any better, but it looks tight!
I just got my Aqua Xtreme 50Z, and I'm thinking of slapping together some RAM water blocks like that, and putting them on a seperate loop with 1/8" tubing. Right now I have the Thermaltake Aquarius II kit (Dont yell at me!) and I would just use the pump from that. It's small, but the loop isnt going to be big, so it will work fine.
Thermaltake :slapass:
Not to keene on Thermaltake, eh? Why is that? I got the damn system, like new although slightly used, for $20 from a buddy of mine. You really cannot go wrong there. And i didnt know as much as i do now when I got that, and it was my first water cooling setup, and I didnt have any really good parts, no OC, and it was $20. Whats your beef with Thermaltake? Does that stand with you for everythign they make?
I haven't really looked at the Aquarius II, but from what I remember its not as good a high end air cooling. Which makes it really pointless IMO. Might as well not even bother if air will work better.Quote:

A high end air cooler would be much more sufficient and efficient, but I got the thing for $20, and I wanted water cooling. You can empathize, right?
Yeah 20 bucks isn't bad. Probably better then aircooling at that price range.
