I would never do it, ti just doesnt make sense. Water and electronics do not mix. I cant afford an entire new comp is one seal or clamp fails

i've urinated on a computer's insides as it was running and nothing went wrong. i know people that have submerged their whole pc internals into some sort of hydrolic lubricant.


i was thinking of watercooling my pc but there's no real advantage unless you're either doing some serious overclocking, or looking for a quiet pc. i'm not sure on what's good out there at the moment, but when i was looking into it swiftech and dangerden seem to have some good setups and a good reputation. any further info can be found here [url="http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=759705"]http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=759705[/url] .
some swiftech kits http://www.frozencpu.com/scan/MM=f5a1a3 ... ge=results (i suggest getting your video card on the watercooling system as well)

urinating on your compsuters insides is asking for trouble, you got VERY lucky if you really did. The only thing that you can submerge electronics in is totaly non-conductive liquids.. that includes PURE de-ionized water and some oils.

I got to use my uncles computer to play BF2 this past weekend. He's put about 2 grand into the thing including a very nice watercooling system. Dont know whats its called but it looks like it would take a ver sharp knife to make it leak. The only reason he had the water coolign was because he had a seriously overclocked everything.

That Vantec watercooling thing isn't that great. It's silent so only performs the same as good air cooling.


Go with something from Swiftech or Danger Den.

You're lucky you have a comp good enough to consider air cooling.
