Wanted to know a few things before i invest 200 dollars in a Maze-3 kit thingy I found =P

1) How much do temps improve with water cooling?
2) How often do you have to change the water in the system?
3) Is it safe to constantly move your computer?
4) How loud are enheim pumps?
 
depends, depends, depends.

1) I think Billa, or maybe someone else, did a review of top end waterkits and top end aircooling kits, and the results were comparable with innovatek and an slk-800 leading the way (this is being pulled from my rotten memory, so no quotes please). i think it talked about C/W though not temps. anyways, there is a point where watercooling can handle more heat than air, and if you are considering using peltiers then you definetly want to go water.

2) not sure, additives may help prolong the time between changes however.

3) i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be safe so long as you go about fastening everything down right.

4) how loud is loud? or how quiet is quiet? ;)
 
4) QUIET. Like, can't-hear-over-7volt-Panaflo(L1A 80mm-@7volts = ~15dB) quiet.
