Is that JJ's latest blingtastic piece for his "race" car? A polarizer perhaps?

the 'Y' tube looks early 70's.....

Other than that, 5 fans, three feet of water cooling, and heat piping, and raising voltage to your processor all seems like overkill for a non SLI board (or is it??)

Little secret for good cooling system contact is aluminum antiseize stuff we use on our cars....just don't get it on your board
Attachments
2.81GHz AMD dual, Nvidia SLI, 320G drive, balanced power ...only four fans though.....CPU temp never over 39C.  Cost 700$ w/windows XP (my choice)...some assembly required (which is why it looks like my engine bay!!)

Not really new as such..been playing a few years already..otherwise Id be in the loony bin by now..

P,All the stuff for computers is riced!! You have to choose the quality and most of all, the functionality very carefully these days..
As with the motor game-"All that glitters is not gold!"

Aah,its good to just chat stuff here..
