So far I've been a fanboy
and I wan't to join the wet life! I've been planning on building my first custom water cooled PC for awhile now. I have been reading these forums for 2 years, and I've never once had to ask a question since you all always had the answers posted. Big Thanks for the professional input on products, brands, overclocking and so forth. I come to you guys in need of opinions and advice.
I plan on putting together:
whuuuttt! My first Intel build, I've used AMD on every build but this one. I think I'm making a good choice:)
*Update:
After I continued to obsess on this build, I've decided to add/change/replace a few components. I've crossed out the items already purchased. Thank You to the guys over in FrozenCPU.com! Brennen did an amazing job sleeving my cables! Great Customer Service! I will recommend them to everyone if you haven't used them already!
Would take pictures, but my GF's camera is.. well I have no clue where it is
but I will take pictures with my 720p 8MP Droid-X once I get more parts rolling in.
