Watercooling for everything except the hard drive, chipset, and mosfets. 3 way sli under effective watercooling is awesome. Cannot wait to do the chipset here before long.

Come on, someone's got to use LN2 on their main rig!!
They're probably trying to cast their vote now, but I imagine constantly refilling the pipe on top of the CPU before the LN2 all evaporates probably slows down their ability the browse the web. :teehee:
