I know this has been out on the market for awhile has anyone tried it?

Also another product called zero/freezer or chiller

Anyone have and details?

I use Zalman products, not water cooling, but as quiet as you can get with regular cooling...probably one third to one half the price of water cooling too

right now I am using Thermal Take 7+

They are VERY Loud. I wanted to try something that was state of the art. so to speak.

Every water cooling system I've seen has been really loud.

We have new Dell machines at work that are silent. I guess they must have no fan

anyone know about that?

I hate Dells,compaqs,HP, ECT

I only build whitebox's I like to know exactly what parts I am putting in my Machine.

So it something breaks I can figure it out really fast.

I love over clocking also

Watercooled boxes rock. =)

Don't really need to get one, if you're going the pentium route... but, if you OC alot with AMD, they are very beneficial.

I have a 2500 xp amd overclocked to around 2330 or so right now, and its not even maxed, my memory is capping it. =(

water cooling cases. This is what I came up with using Google.

Actually... They really are quite cool and awsome.
Thank you for this insight.

Some companies like Zalman make absolutely huge heatsinks for processors, that mean you don't need a fan... last time I checked they don't make them for higher end processors (eg my P4 3.2) and they're no good for overclocking.

- hole in the wall and computer in the room next to you (seriously)

- or wait for intel to bring out those pentium-m cpu's for desktops

- Or, get a non-boxed 2.4-2.6 or so pentium 4 with your own fan and see if you can set the cpu fan to less than 1000 rpm in the bios. Like 800. Many cpu fans do over 2000 rpm and keep the cpu at an ice cold 30 degrees or so which is ridiculousl unless you want to keep that $200 cpu running for 30 years.

A P4 can handle 60 degrees on a daily basis. Then get a graphics card without fan (128 MB ATI SE for about $50 with DVI and no fan), and a psu with a silent 120 mm fan. The bigger the fan the slower it can run to move the same amount of air. Plus a silent case

- Or, get a Thinkpad R40 centrino notebook = ZERO noise

max 2 GB RAM, plus a dockingstation and a TFT
(or if you can afford it, a R50 = $4000+ but plus bluetooth, Wifi a/b/g and 128 instead of 32 MB graphics, plus DVD burner)
