Nice looking rig, and with the specs probably runs as well as it looks!. Well done. I've always been a fan (no pun intended) of air cooling having an aversion to putting a corrosive, conductive liquid inside my electronics, but something like this maybe with a non-conductive coolant that I saw recently might just be in the future. Darn - another area to spend money in

I shipped it with non-conductive Primochill coolant. If you build it right, you wont need to ever use the "Features" of the non-conductive coolant Lol.
