i am constructing a new ultra performance pc for lanning and other fun things like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3.

P4 2.4C to overclock
abit ic7-max3
saphire 9800 pro 128 ram
512Mb Kingston DDR400 or Corsair DDR400
?Hercules Fortissimo 3? (not sure)
seagate 80 or 120 gig 8mb cache sata
BenQ fp767 green color from tigerdirect @ 380usd
logitech mx500, elite keyboard, z640 speaks
smc2662w wireless access point
winXP
and the real treat: CUSTOM cube case+refrigerator+watercool (whitewater cpu block, maze4 gpu block, multiple heatercores, 500-1000 gph pump, ~1/2 liter reservoir, and the reservoir goes in the fridge with the bawls and root beer) and the case will be a heavily modified to fit the fridge: xoxide x-ufo, or yeong yang black cube.

(i think that pc could run hl2 like a charm)

i highly sujjest a quik trip to the cooling section and do alot of research on using a fridge.
most arent powerfull enough to keep the heat out of the water.
and when you find one powerfull enough its a battle to fight condinsation.
temp control is another battle as it can swing wildly.and is hard to adjust it especially when other things are in the fridge also.

this is why not many people use refer h20.
i do and like it but only in the spring summer and fall.
winter i use outside ohio air.temp regulation is a must and hard as hell.
also ive killed stuff due to condinsation.and sealing the block,cpu,cocket is a pain if you switch cpu's out.
