I took my computer to some LAN parties in the past and no trouble happened to it.

Are you using watercooling?

And LAN partys might not be the only issue. Just a small tear in some tube might kill a very expensive system.

Thats my point - any small thing could be a real issue. It's quite a gamble with the system you've spent so much money putting together/whatever!

A reason why the cover was invented? I think so.
And to be honest, I do not put the cover on my case. :)

I'm not talking about the cover, I'm talking about the tubes with liquid rupturing.

Which is why, assuming you're really going for it, you buy Tygon tubing. Nice and laboratory grade. You aren't going to rupture that.

The main thing against me even thinking about water cooling is weight.

Presumably you can take the system out for transport...? Or at least drain it of water....

You can drain it, but from what I understand, it's a pain. I'd rather just go for extremely high end aircooling, like the Thermalright SP-94 or something to that effect.

I wouldn't have thought it'd add that much weight - there's not going to be much more than a litre or two of water in there, after all. And if you can't lift an extra two kilos, then you're weak, so tough :p :D j/k  You could always go for one of those Mach II thingies, if you wanted maximum cooling. Though they're probably as noisy as fans, if not more so...

Back on-topic, though - that's probably the best case mod I've ever seen! Actually original and interesting, rather than a load of leds and fluorescent tubing. Never liked case modding meself, but that is very, very good. Don't like the green/silver one though.
Any fool can pull a trigger...

That case is really nice compared to a Quake 3 one I saw two or three years ago.

Actually, not quite. ;) Just catching up on 500+ RSS feed posts from Gizmodo from the past 2-3 months.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Some motherboards have the temperature gauge in the BIOS, some don't have a visible one at all. Check your BIOS, I think mine is under the heading "System Overview" or something like that.

That's my beef with watercooling too. The reason why I may end up with it in my PC is because I can't seem to find a decently quiet air cooling system... all the ones we've tried so far have been deafening. :no:
