And after all is water cooled, it wouldn't harm to have an extra slow and silent big fan blowing musty air out, letting fresh air in. At least it could help preventing dust bunnies to nest inside your computer.

Unless you water cool also your gpu and ram and harddrives.
In time I want to GPU, that would only restrict me to HDD and RAM needing air coolng after that, if i do water cooling.

the question you should be asking yourself is is it worth the money?  other than looking cool and it does look very cool in lawn's puter it's not really an improvement over mine.  then again if I could I would probably get it :). as for doing it on the gpu might as well buy one that comes with water cooling, might be cheaper :).

all questions I have been asking myself. but with a brand new video card, there is no sense in buying a new.

If this is your primary game....Watercooling is a waste of money.

I guess I don't see the point of the false bottom and never will.

It's for looks :)

People don't seem to get that if something is built to look 'neat' for marketing purposes, it doesn't necessarily mean it's any good for your system. I also never understood what's the point of painting and tweaking the inside of your computer case that's going to sit under the desk and never get opened after assembling it :)

Perhaps it's some juvenile thing, to show off to friends? I remember building all kinds of stupidities with car stereos when I was younger.

nobody except me looks at my computer.  but if you really want to know it is like selecting skins on an airplane/gv.  It wont help you for anything but it keeps you happy.  it's all about looks.  having hires textures dont really help you in the game? but it sure looks good  :salute

besides I am 47, I need to look as juvenile as I can :old: and you want to see juvenile  :D, wait till I change mine, after all I cant let lawntard have a better putter than me :furious

right now my machine sits on my desktop, so i see it. even if i ever made a desk for it i would have a plexiglass shelf for it with holes drilled in it for air flow and cable management. of course, i could pass as juvenile being 18  :D
