I never knew that watercooling was voiding the warranties, except the video card, I could see that becuase you are removing the heatsink on it, but why would it be for the other things?

I know well first, cheap(er) watercooling and even some decent watercooling creates condensation inside your case. Water and live electronics dont mix. Most companies will state that watercooling will void the warrenties. (Evga, mushkin still does im pretty sure). Especially if you install the watercooling incorrectly and your whole computer gets fried, then why should they have to replace what you broke through no fault of the company. Basically.

Guess that makes sense. But I've never heard of any condensation inside y our case from watercooling.

and just dont' mess it up

Condensation will happen if your system leaks.

Anyway, fans are just as effective as watercooling if used properly.

OK, well, I guess that's the case...seems, pirated in some sorts, but that's ...cool.

(ala Super Joy III). About watercooling, I'm gonna have to say...no on the new computer. My first attempt...BAM! I totally messed up my perfectly good P3 computer. I tried it on my other computer, and it's great, but I'm still in a no situation...just too risky. My main problems are as following:

1. So, everything should be OK? As in, there will be enough room for the ports of all my things to come out...and is my motherboard ATX, as the case needs...so it's like I just screw it in vertically, and all the motherboard ports should just go in normally. And then the video card, VCC, dial up card...it all should fit in normally? That's just my only real fright.

2. Err...two ports on the Video card...which one do I plug into just to work on one monitor.

Also, can't WAIT to play Splinter Cell: DA, and Chaos Theory for the first time on my computer....I can just emulate them on my XBOX...but the graphics....

Well, thanks again, and well, you'll all have a special place on my HDD.

Bump...I updated the case (how is it?) and those questions.
