    Well, you didn't include an LN2 category, so I chose air, which is what I run my daily rig on...

    Air here, could never afford water cooling.

    I'd be tempted if I had my own CNC. Can get some random rad for pretty cheap, would have to fork out on a decent pump and a block of copper. More fun that way though.

    Liquid with air for the drives, but I plan to have my Prommie on the CPU and a TEC on the card soon. I voted air and liquid as they are my current options.
