Watercooled it's probably OK, but for the price - would rather have a real one.

If your wanting a truly custom and awesome looking tech station check out CyberDruid's new design. Totally tool-less, endlessly customizable, and modular.

I don't think people want it so much for being a "tech station", but just a compact open platform to show off their parts.

If you want a tech station, stick with Danger Den, HSPC, CyberDruid, or Syrillian.

Seriously.
