Actually we talk about our issues every 2-3 weeks. It's just I ALWAY'S do something wrong no matter how hard I try to be nice or do something special. It was never like this before. We're going on our 15month BTW.

Also. Haha. I've againd decided against the wc'ing. I'm spending too much on my pc. I've decided the only things I'm going to buy for it are the following:

X2 550w - Payed for w/ Money From Sold Liberty
HIS IceQ x1900xt - $450
Zalman 7700cu - $40
S-Flex 120mm - $15
120mm Fan Filter - $5
Black Sleeving Kit - $10
SFF Cable Kit For X2 - $30
--------------
Total = $675

I'm spending way to much money on my PC, and I'm getting neglible performance. I plan on keeping that final build, and then I'll upgrade when Vista/DX10 comes out. I am only 16, and I have other expenses I need to pay, plus the I pay for the Gal Pal whenever we hang out. (which is like 6 days a week) I am also going to finally start saving for a car. I have started car funds before but, I always end up spending the money. I had $600 saved up, but I bought a new guitar amp, a Fender Hotrod Deluxe. As far as a car goes I am looking to get a 1999-2001 VW GTI Manual Trans. If I find a good deal though, I may get a Auto, I'd prefer the 5speed though. I am splitting my car 3ways with my Mom and Dad. (Divorced) After I get all my expenses paid off and figured out, I would really like to Water Cool, It's something I've always been interested in. I find it kinda of excessive though, considering the nicest PC in town is mine, and the 2nd best is one also built by me. The 20 or so pc gamers in my town meet up and have LAN Partys every 2 or so weeks. Anywas the best pc in town next to mine is:

Qpack
NeoHE 430w
Tforce
Venice 3200+ @ 2.0
XFX 7800gt
2gb OCZ ddr400
Audigy 2 ZS

I build that PC for a good friend of mine about 2 or so weeks after I built my first rig. The best pc after that is:

Thermaltake Xaser V (Ugly as Sin)
Tt Stock PSU
MSI s754 Board ??
A64 3400+
1gb Corsair ddr400
6800Ultra AGP
Audigy 2

The pc gaming community is my town is absolutely horrid. EVERYONE, plays console games. Which isn't that bad except for the fact that, they all swear by Halo2 and whenever HL2 is brought up you either get "Half-What 2", "Halo pwns HL" or "Half-Life is a Halo Copy". I think it's funny that the "die-hard" pc gamers have the worst pc's. You'd think that if they have to run Hl2 in 800x600 on medium, that they'd just buy a fucken buy 1 of the 3 consoles. I mean, my friend Nate, loves pc's and pretty much hates Consoles in general, except for anything Nintendo. He runs a Athlon XP 1800+/512mb Sdram/fx5200 and he plays BF2, HL2, and most of the other Triple A titles on that. Now, I know graphics do not make the game, but at that point the visuals are so hard for me to watch that I would just buy the F'ing Console. Well, that's my take on my towns gaming community.
 
its definitely doable, but find yourself a buddy with super small hands to get into the tight spaces, and for the applications which need more than 2 hands or hands from different orientations, such as attaching power connectors and the like. Atleast, thats what I did for my watercooled qpack.

No way in hell I can get my fingers in there with a screw driver just to mount the cpu block.. its next to impossible. Hell, if you're going to watercool the gpu, think of how you would attach the gpu block without 2 people. You simply dont have enough joints in your arm..
 
Very doable... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1050624

My sg01 is watercooled with essentially the same parts minus the gpu cooling.

My setup:
Swiftech Apogee
Laing D5
BIP2
Swiftech Microres

If I wanted to, I would have put in GPU cooling, but I'm cheap and there's massive amounts of air flowing over my card already.

Uber is right about having an extra friend to help too. Having someone hold tubing out of the way to install parts makes life so much easier.

Why would you cover the cables on the X2?

I'm not sleeving the cables on the X2. I'm going to sleeve the cables form the case, the cables for the PowerSwitch, Temp Sensor and fans. Also, does the MIcroFly come windowed steeeeve?
 
Does the Micro Fly come windowed? What kinda question is that :p The whole review was with a windowed Micro Fly. It comes in both windowed and non-windowed

Lol. I meant to say, does it come without windows. :(


I'm trying to decide between a Sleek Clean Windowless Watercooled SFF, or a Flash[y] Watercooled SFF.
