    fedex

    ...when the fedex truck drives by and you get all weak in the knees, and then all excited...
    ...and then all depressed when you realize you didn't order anything, you just really really wanted to.

    this isn't so much watercooling but:

    When you've cut out all of the cables but the 8-pin and 1inch of the 24-pin from your $300+ PSU just so it "looks cleaner"

    So, so true.
    Is it someone with a Triple Letter Repeat nick?
    Just to be sure...how did anyone know the loop wasn't filled?

    Here's one more:

    When you download ALL the available 3D models of casings, blocks, cards, mobos, pumps, res and rads on Google Sketchup, just so you can "build" your dream machine while saving up for it

    Water cooling is supposed to be recreational, it's not mandatory, and it's not a perfect science.

    When you have 4 loops that each cool only on part to get the best temps.

    1) Monsta rad for CPU loop

    2) Feser Triple Rad for GPU loop

    3) Swiftech Single Rad for RAM loop

    4) Swiftech Dual Rad for Chipset loop

    Then you look inside your computer and see nothing but tubing and then you remember that the RAM water blocks are aluminum and you spend the next few days draining and starting all over again.

    Also, you shudder when you hear the word Thermaltake
    I like turtles

    When you own 5 flowmeters.

    When you have 2x RD-30's worth of pumping power in a CPU-only loop. ()

    ...when everytime you go shopping, you always find something you think is/gonna be useful in future wc upgrades...

    ...when breaking up from your girlfriend after 1&1/2 years, the only urge you have is to build a new rig...

    ...when you own enough components to watercool your entire apartment, but you still keep buying more...

    when you buy two of the same cases. 1 so you can house your system in, and the other for the rads, pumps, and fans.

    when you have 50+ shoe boxes (of the same brand and size) to sort out all your watercooling goodness...

    THEN...

    take your trusty Brother P-Touch Labeler to label all thems boxes...

    AND...

    realize you're going to need more shoe boxes...
