...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 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
My hardware changes to fast and to much to keep a sig up to date. I just gave up on the idea.
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.![]()

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.
