Water Cooling?

That's a good point. With different metals, the cooling system will essentially become a (VERY) weak battery. Not enough to cause electrical damage, but by causing ions to migrate from one metal block to another you will get corrosion. I would not have thought of that.
GenuineAdvantage:
Ok, I was totally ignorant about it, what I was thinking of wasn't water cooling, but gas compression with some other substance. But not freon, I don't think. I know some rich bastard who wastes money on silly crap and he has one of these. Has a huge plasma screen too. I looked into it, it's not water cooling. So if you really want nice cooling there you go. But just to quiet things down, anything but air fans is not worth it. This super cooling is only worth it when overclocking way too much.
piratePenguin:
With water cooling do you hear anything or can you hear the water being pumped or something?

Actually to be specific, you don't need to match all the metal.... you could have a copper cpu block and a radiator with copper tubing and aluminum fins.
Pathos:
some of the watercoolers I've seen recently on the net still have a fan to cool the water unless you have a chiller.
