Bong cooling? A couple of years ago it was semi-popular. Even though HardOCP reviewed a system which is similar to the bong system, it obviously does a few things differently. Are bongs just not as efficient as they used to be, or are they just not sexy enough for people?

It's a great, cheap way to cool. Some people just don't like the maintenence of them, adding water everyday. There's also the "man peeing" sound from them. Adding a bit more effort and moolah can overcome those problems.
I was looking at using a bong in wintertime, here it's really dry durring the winter months.
Maybe I'll actually get it done this time

I heard someone found out about this super rare disease that forms in bong systems and is like very very deadly
Actually, there is a recent thread about a semi-bong cooler right here.
I think that many folks decided that the disadvantages ( size, maintenance, external requirement) outweighed the positives.
It also helps if your climate cooperates...they work great in a very dry climate ( like here in Denver) and not so well in a humid environment ( Atlanta or Houston, say).

I wanted to do one, still do. Just never really had time and money to spend on one @ the same time, lol.
I had a 6 footer running a couple years ago. The "peeing" sound and daily refilling quickly put an end to that project. A couple months ago I tried a silent & compact solution. Efficient? Yep, it sure did spank my current radiator setup. Truly silent aswell since it used no fans. But in the end the refilling problem came about again. Sure I could stick a 5 gallon container next to my pc but that's not exactly compact eh?
Legionnaires disease, but that wasn't a huge issue.

Screw the bromine... Go with a high-power UV light. Just make sure it's light proof so you don't go blind...pelikan said:
