If it weren't for liquid cooling, I'd probably just make hot rodding 'puters a part-time hobby. 
Simply putting in new cards and CPUs doesn't really float my boat that much, overclocking doesn't either. Liquid cooling lets me play and have fun.

Almost lost my Sapphire 9500 128mb (that softmods). Luckily, it lived through the leak - it was my fault. Clamp not down tight enough.

Well...my few days of watercooling have been good. I finaly got my system back up after an almost disaster a few months ago. My dad unplugged my pump.
Temps are good, just need to take it all apart again and shorten the tubing.

I was lucky...my tbird got around 55c without the pump. Hotenuff to make the system reboot but it survived. I seriously doubt he woulda replaced anything...hes definetly not the nicest person and he hates my computers.poMONKey said:

Same here! My overclock isn't as good as yours though

My watercooling experience has been a good one - the OC gods have taken my ASUS A7V266-E as a sacrifice. I don't miss it though, as it was a cludge anyways.
Temperatures lower, noise lower, more fun, everything is better. I just hope that spectre the sacrifice tax-collector doesn't come knocking anytime soon.... I'm broke and can't afford to replace anything!

I had to vote neutral for a number of reasons.
1: Air is EASY to do. I mean EASY.
2: An overclock of maybe 100 MHZ more might not be worth the trouble.
3: I DO like to tinker, but sometimes certain watercooling tasks can be monotonous.
4: Water is quieter.
5: Water is expensive
6: There is only so much you can do with air... Thus the easy factor.
7: The look on people's faces when you try to explain your water rig.
Perhaps if I had a block that was easier to mount things would be different, but the tubing definatly plays a part in making things difficult. I really like planning out a system and putting parts together, but I hate installing it into the system. (Thinking I should probably do an external rig, but that creates new problems.)

I have offered up the the gods a nice Gf4Ti4200, but they were really good to me. They took that card as a sacrafice and gave me an ATI as a good will gift.
What gets me the most about watercooling is the noise. I went over to a friends house the other day and forgot how loud air cooling is. I sat at his computer and was utterly annoyed after about 10 minutes. I could never go back to air.
Watercooling is just so damn fun too! I can crank up my vcore and temps don;t really budge. The awe factor when people see you rig is sweet too.

After watercooling for nearly 4 years now I will bever switch back to air. Lost a 20GB Maxtor drive though when my 5.25" res cracked, now I use T-line and no plexi topped blocks.
