Ohh man that would be sweet, but I am not going to start playing with n2o....

Although I'm finally looking at getting some water soon here, at least for my processor and/or video card, its so much more efficent than air and quiter to boot.

All cooling methods are allowed and they supply the parts

Looks like its an LA, Cali thing though, I live a little far away... I'll read more about it as soon as I get my workload down here a bit, I have like 6 systems to fix and 2 servers to setup one with 9 virtual servers, too much work....
