I was joking about the LCD though it is very nice. 16ms response time so it's not too bad, but I'll wait for the 8ms screens to come out and get a 12ms screen for cheap (sort of).

So the temperature of the coolant affects the temperature of the condensor and compressor? I don't quite understand how that's possible. The compressor works at a constant rate, so heat output should be constant, right? The evaporator in the reservoir cools the antifreeze/alcohol mixture and the CPU and GPU dump heat into the coolant. So the coolant temperature fluctuates sure, eventually reaches equilibrium, but why should the heat output into ambient air variate?
