Water Cooling?

I repeat! All water cooling needs to be air cooled, to cool a a fully loaded high end system you will need a radiator that needs 3 roughly 50CFM 120MM Fans, unless you have some massive radiator...Phase Change cooling is that expensive if you do it yourself....can be done for about $400-600 by your self, high end water cooling costs about that much to...A chiller also uses phase change, hell if you wanted really getto phase change, just take a water block, and stick an upside down air duster with the button pressed down....The air dusters use refriderants..

Why don't we just build our machines into a fridge? :p
That would be nice, if it worked.

I was thinking of that too, but physics-wise refrigerators are quite in-efficient, your computer would overheat in no time, sadly :(

Thats why you stick it in the freezer, the freezer recycles cold air.
Another thing, some of the newer AMD Opteron and FX CPUs have a really bad cold bug( a cold bug is where below a certain temperature, a CPU just wont start anymore), sometimes the cold bug can be as high as 15*C, but most of the time its around -40*C
