It saddens me to see this won't be a LC build voigts.

I'll keep and eye on it as long as it's still here and occasionally pop in after it's been moved. Either way, I look forward to the finished product, because in your capable hands, it's going to be a quality work of art.

Thanks. I've spent a good bit of money in the last 6 months or so getting some really nice tools that I've been needing. I can't believe how much of a difference having a real table saw now makes. It cuts and handles so incredibly smooth and accurately.

Thanks Waterlogged. I really did wrestle about giving air a chance again, but I am going to see what happens. I'm not sure that I live up to your "work of art" description, but I do give it a try.

Please keep the updates coming - while you are going air cooling now, who knows? You might change your mind down the road. And, since there isn't a dedicated worklog section in the air cooling area, I think this is a good place for us to keep tabs on your wonderful project!

I may go back to air down the road, but I want to give this a try and see how it goes. If I can get silence with a good enough overclock, the air might win. One of the many factors that pushed me into trying air again is that in order to make a compact case to my criteria, air cooling affords for a much, much better wiring management solution than using water. I also think based on the reviews I am reading that the Megashadow and MK-13 will do what I need more quietly than even my current setup. I'm not planning on selling off my watercooling gear though at this point.

Actually, I got the Megashadow instead as I really like the black nickel plated look of it better than the Megahalem. I hope it all looks good!
