The thought of watercooling has been running though my head for a short while but Im still not decided because of all the strict requirements I have. Im picky. See, my dorm has no AC so I heard it can get mighty warm in there. I dont want to run a half dozen fans or more to cool the 2500+ im planning on overclocking to 2.4+ making my computer sound like an airplane. That leaves watercooling for me but I need your input because this could be a waste of time (hopefully not yours for reading this ) . Im looking at the X-dreamer which is just a midtower and I dont want a case larger than that. That throws out having a reservoir in the case. Second, Im looking to spend less than 100 on the cooling but that shouldnt be to much trouble since I will build my own shrouds, get the tubing and clamps from a hardware store, and buying/finding a car radiator. I dont care about the extra trouble I will have to go though just having a T line or shopping around because I know this system might be difficult. I know the 2500 can make it to 2.4 on air but I want my machine to look sweet and run quiet. I would be willing to pay the extra 50 for the watercooling over the slk900 and fan. I just want to know if Im asking for to much because I will concentrate the other components going in. Thanks
