I know its not new but its really really cool! Instead of having fans cool your computer down (and make a noise) there are water 'tubes' throughout your computer shell. It looks outta this world but i guess you'd be in trouble if one of them burst or dipped...

The most used liquid coolant is alienware, and I guess its more like a gel, but I think the tubing is made with some type of flexible synthetic plastic, so it never breaks, just cools, and looks awesome as it is lit up, but its like an extra $100 if u order it online at alienware's site

It is demi-water. It is filthered..
so if it would leak, your computer will not be destroyed A friend of me got watercooling. It's really cool. He also got UV-lamps so it looks like the green water lights up

It deffinetly ups the cool factor of your comp by +2 but I would mcuh rather up it by +5 by putting 4 gigs of ram in it than two, dual 256 cards instead of one or a better processor eather way I would take performance over looks any way of the week because for the most part thats all that really matters.

QUOTE(tdktank59 @ Jul 5 2006, 01:20 PM)  yeah thats the only problem with it is the possibilty of a pipe breaking and leaking and shortcircuting your system.... Not if you use distilled water. Pure water does NOT conduct electricity, so as long as the water is free of any minerals, it won't short out your computer. Besides, the chance of leaks is very small. I myself have a water-cooled computer, and it's great how quiet it is, but in the long run it really doesn't make much difference. In order to keep the water being pumped rather cool, the heat must be transferred to a cooler medium, in this case the air. So, the air must be cool for the water cooling to work. Unfortunately, my room heats up fast, so now I have an air conditioner in my room (even with it running 24/7 on full, my room's still a bit on the warm side) which keeps my computer from overheating, but the AC is quite noisy, so in the long run, it kind of defeats the purpose. |
