Liquid Forum > 4chan
That was my turning point.
Raddust - compressed air blown out the way it came in with a damp rag behind it to take it all.

...when you realize your bookmarks go right to the water/liquid cooling section of forums instead of the main page.
...when you ditch out on family events because some new parts arrived.
...when you are calling out for reviews and tests to be done on a part that only 5 minutes ago was announced for release.
...when you read this thread and agree with everything, noting to yourself to get more shoeboxes.
...when you leave your computer on in the winter to "save on heating".
...when you develop a small business to make one or two parts so that you can write off your other computer parts as "test samples" or "R&D".
...when you refer to your computer by name, and apologize to it before performing "surgery".
You get home late after work and see there is a package on the table. You know from sitting at work refreshing the tracking code every 2 seconds that it was your new block your wife signed for. You look at the clock, look at your wife and tell her you will tuck her in. You look under the cupboard and notice there is not enough distilled in the 2 gallon jug. Option 1 you wait till the store opens in 7 hours and go to bed now making your wife happy. Option 2 you make your own homemade steam distillery and spend the next 6 hours making your own. You whip out the pot and start boiling collecting clothes hanger wire, your big filling funnel, some extra tubing, your water filter and an empty jug.

When you think: Aah, watercooling at last when it starts to rain...
When you think that copper is more precious than gold..
when you use ketchup for something other than fries...
When your alcohol consumption rises, and not because your drinking more.
When you get a birthday card from the water company.
When you have gone to the er because your finger nearly got sliced off by a fan.
i discovered 4chan afterwards, i hate how i hit page 15 and then go back to 0. i'm obsessed.

...the first thing you check when you get home is this forum, then your favourite stores "new products section", then your facebook.
... when you go to Lowes to buy some cans of compressed air to blow out your computer, and walk out with this.
<---- Guilty
...When you begin to look at something like THIS.
...When your computer parts run your spouse out of his den and he has to move his office to the guest bedroom.
...When your dining room table looks like this, because there isn't enough work space in the den you stole:

When you spend over 2k, not to make your computer faster/cooler or more efficient but just to make it more pretty.
When your new motherboard has a different color then the last one, and this little fact makes you redo your entire system including your wc-setup to make it more "matching"
ps.: i actually got a room in my house dedicated to watercooling parts
When you are planning to put a Tri-Fire set-up (5970+5870) both watercooled with dedicated loops, in your 8 years old daughter computer, to make place for another Tri-Fire (6990+6970), both watercooled, in your own computer. :)
Someday ago it was a hot day, I was thirsty as hell and the only thing I could find In my room was a couple bottles of pure distilled water, I had no choice xD
-when spending more time looking at bubbles in you res then at screen
-when you keep wondering how to modify system so it could run on beer, thus impressing all of your friends
-when support staff become your best friends
-when you put alarms and leak sensor all around your case and connect them to iphone for immergancy
-when spending all savings on parts instead of going to Hawaii
You know you are addicted to WCing when you leave your A/C on all day in winter just to see the temp on your CPU less than 19ºc and you use 1.55Vcore to get 4.5Ghz with a E8400.
I know I'm not addicted. 35m2 of the appartment space being unusable due to the wc and other pc parts that cover it, is a temporary inconvenience and means nothing.
