open or closed loop watercooling?

if portability isn't a concern which is going to be more effective?

i say a hearty closed loop, much less heat is introduced into the system, it saves space, and the water isnt exposed to air, hence keeping bactierial growth to a minimum.

just IMO though, i know Hoot agrees with me

Definitely. An open system, there's evaporation, and you can't really do anything to the water to prevent the block to be damaged over a period of time like AntiFreeze again, because of evaporation. A closed system you can add all of that in and it will give your components a better run over time.
