Not too much, I cant quite remember how much the PC cost to built, i think it was like $700-800 because of the specs, and the watercooling i did it all for $200. So he has only invested about $1,000 which is not bad, considering other manufactors charge up around $1,200+ for non liquid cooled PCs and the companies that do provide watercooled PCs charge more then $2,000 for them.

I put a lot of time on this one making it perfect, I also tryed to sleeve everything wire so it wouldn't look ugly, But I put a lot of effort into them. Kindof like people do with cars, i do it with PCs.

Holy crap Spin, I wouldve never guessed you built computers...thats pretty cheap for the performance I assume it has. Thumbs up.

04DarkShadowGT · 06-15-2006, 02:30 PM

Whats the point? Sounds like a waste of $200 to me.

csledd · 06-15-2006, 02:43 PM

Personally, I don't care for watercooling... but you did a really nice job Spin, very clean

mustangV6_04 · 06-15-2006, 09:45 PM

whats the specs of the actual comp?

I may be interested in getting a new comp within the next few months so I may be looking your way.

MattJ · 06-15-2006, 09:46 PM

Looks nice and I bet its fast!

06-15-2006, 09:47 PM

if that leaks he is FLUCKED!

MattJ · 06-15-2006, 09:49 PM

yeah what if it leaks? lol

Badfish · 06-15-2006, 09:50 PM

LMAO! that would SUC

*venom* · 06-15-2006, 10:52 PM

I have had a water cooled PC for a couple of years with no leaks so dont be afraid if you want to do one just visit Xoxide.com . My first try at water cooling was this pc about 3 years ago and looking forward in building a new one .

You buy a water cooling kit from a company like zalman, thermaltake, or corsair and you install it. Looks pretty slick Spin, what are the specs on that machine and how much is it overclocked?

I test it outside the case before I put it inside. With strong clamps and sealent chances of it leaking is like 1%, plus the pumps are like fish tank pumps, not much preasure, so if it leaks it will be tiny drops. I have seen people use radiators from cars for PC watercooling.

yeah but start overclocking that thing and you HAVE to get a watercooling system. BTW 46 celsius is like 115 farenheit and thats still pretty hot. But i guess you can blame AMD for making such hot running chips.

My at home system is an AMD 64 3800+ running at 19 degress, pretty big boost huh?

spike_africa · 06-16-2006, 12:05 PM

i never realized home important cooling is untill i over clocked my old AMD 3200 it was 1g and clocked it 1.4mhz and it was fine ran fast and only was at like 110* then it started to go to 130* and up and up and i couldnt stop it and it fried itself. I lost all my data aswell (old built in harddrive crap). I stopped fucing around with overclocking after that.
