    ok the deal is i need to cool the rig below and i need to do it by getting the best temps but most importantly i need the QUIETEST SYSTEM POSS as i sleep no more than 4M away from my comp what i need is advice on what to do and what to buy. Do i go for a koolance kinda option(i know i've asked this before but am still not sure) or do I by I full tower Lian Li and Mod it with a H2O kit or put my own H2o coolin kit together and still buy the Lian Li? I really need help here as as i've said before i am a complete n00b to water cooling.

    Thanks everyone

    I hate to say it but the answer to your question has to be yours to answer. A Koolence or Quiet power are easy options, but you will be compromising.

    If you have the confidence then modding your case and fitting a kit is better.

    However, putting your own system together will always be the best option as you can get the best bits for you.

    They increase in difficulty, but watercooling realy is not that hard. If you can mod in a window, fit a mobo and bits and stick a light in you have the skills to fit your own watersystem. The first computer I ever modded and built was a watersystem, and I am not that clever.

    Oh and the quietest is a bomb.....

    Living in london I have oodles of choice. I have cable, which is better than BT. But our takeup of broadband in the UK is ****. Peeps still spend £15 per month for AOL on a dial up which is what it costs me for 128k broadband.

    and there was me thinking that Titch had some brains!!!

    Titch, that's a form of natural selection... if you are stupid enough to need AOL and stupid enough to pay for it then , why would I want to share some of my bandwith with them? :p :hehe:

    1.) probably wont fit in ur case......so then u need 2 cases and imo thats just extremely ghetto.....

    2.)cant move it like that.......

    3.) rasies insidetemps alot.....and also and large blow holes *like say for a 120mm radiator fan* will let alot of noise out.......

    Vapor Chills are awesome, but i dunno about the silent factor....considering it is a small frige
