    This one has it for me.

    Also, when you are bored the first thing that comes to mind is tinkering with your computer as in seeing what you can tear apart or get into.

    You know you are addicted to WCing when...

    You buy all the parts, put them together but don't fill the loop, pull it all apart, start your own forum and proclaim your a water cooling god and tell other ppl what they should use.

    You know you are addicted to watercooling...


    When water leaks all over your computer you don't even blink.

    When the only water in your house has PT Nuke in it.

    When you are broke.

    You know you are addicted to watercooling when you dedicate a room of your house to be the computer room... and another room for building the computer.

    ...when you think the answers to life's greatest mysteries lies in rotaries and compression fittings.
    ...when the first thing you do in the morning is check to see if that sold-out block is back in stock.
    ...when you catch yourself thinking about sleeving your dog (so wrong, I know).
    ...when you can recite your loop order to the cadence of the classic McDonald's jingle. (Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.)
    ...when you use words like "ambient", "delta", or "low restriction" to describe somebody cool.

    This is true of me atm:

    when your wife is constantly asking if its oky to use her own sink.

    When people start looking at you weirdly when you talk about your own pc.

    When the guy at the local car parts shop ask's you if you would like to make an account.

    When you stop looking at the DB of a fan and just concentrate on the CFM.

    When you have more rads in the house then in you own car.

    When you start making your own dye's

    when you think the way to exhibit wealth in h2o is by showing off a cache of bitsy fittings.

    When you know RD-30 is not R2D2's little brother.

    when ur sitting behind a table doing murder mod sleeving on your PSU cables in your free time.
    (sorry nils.. but you need to be adicted to this hobby to keep that up after 5).

    When in the middle of work you stop and jot down a tubing run for a build in the future(including angled fittings if needed).
    When your girlfriend wants to buy a gallon of spring water at the grocery store and you make her buy distilled water just in case you redo your loops AGAIN.
    When you pee UV because of that one drunk night refilling your pc with feser 1 UV.
    When you decide whether to buy certain PC components based on if they have water blocks made for them.

    I remember reading about this, what a lovely person

    And I was guilty of the work thing too, until they blocked XS (and most other forums) with contentwatch. I spent more hours on XS than working
