I'm not too worried about seeming to be an asshole to a fellow who thinks a watercooling rig will cost "closer to five-hundred bucks" (my first setup cost <$40) or thinks that if the components aren't in the computer case "all the hoses and mechanicals are exposed" (external box?). And with jaydee mellowing, someone has to pick up the slack.
M. C. Misiolek's flow concepts remind me of a fellow I knew, whose fluid dynamics knowledge was limited to a vague recollection of an illustration of Bernoulli's equation from high school physics. You know the one, featuring an ideal fluid flowing through a pipe with a constriction. Since the flow rate is the same in the constricted and unconstricted portions, he was convinced that pipe/tubing size never mattered.
I tried to explain viscosity by challenging him to a milkshake drinking contest. I had a big straw, he had a tiny coffee straw. Eventually I gave up, and helped him plumb his new house with 3/8" supply lines. To this day, he can't figure out why it takes so long to fill the bathtub.
"A water cooling system will always follow the rules of fluid dynamics" whether you understand them or not.
