Haha, I'll grant you that last one, it can look pretty good.

Just remember to buy a complete kit and not get overwhelmed when buying your stuff. Get a decent quality kit and do your research!

Never heard of water cooling the RAM but I suppose it could help.. Neither have I seen a water cooled HDD..

Good luck with it anyway, post pics on your progress!

this will be in a year or so that the insanity water cooling rig comes along. check thermaltakes site they have the ram watercooling brackets and the water cooled hdd cages. i figured if i start small theres less chance of me frying 1500+ in compenents.

im planniong on starting with a thermaltake big water with an aqua bay m1 so i can see level and flow with out having to open up my case

I know i'm a few days late and a few dollars short but on your GPU temp concerns......... I'm currently using a 9800GX2 (did have two but one crapped out on me just recently and I need to RMA it), and right now, at basically an idle, it's at 64C. It's gone 90C playing crysis with no probs, (the one that is being RMA'ed was messed up from the start, it just took me this long to figure out it was the problem lol).

If you want to do it because it's "cool", fine - but it's functionally useless.
