Hey guys. I went casual for a year or so, but I'm gonna be going back to water as soon as I buy a GPU block, probably next week. I blame it on coming back to OCforums; that inspiration plus a new job = empty wallet + head full of ideas.
This case is going to be 50% for show, 10% for quiet, and 40% for performance. In that regard, I wanted to know what people thought of adding a dual 3.5" bay acryllic bay-rez to the setup. I am aware that they add an irrelevent cooling gain at best, and a slight performance loss at worst (loss in pressure), but I am more concerned with leakage and safety than the theoretical pros and cons of one in my loop.
What is the most well-constructed, durable bay-rez? And even then, is it well-constructed enough for me to feel comfortable with it in my rig? I have always used T-lines in my setups, but like I said, this rig will be for show as well as performance, and I'm going with a brushed aluminum/red theme, so a bayrez bubbling with red water (maybe LED illuminated) would add a really nice touch to the bezel.
What's the verdict? Anyone a long-time rez user with no leaks? Anyone hosed a system due to a leaking rez? Make me comfortable so I can pimp my box.
Gracias.
