It is nice build. Res's are a nice thing to have to quick and easily bleed air and keep the system topped off.

What interests me however is if your notebook is powerful enough for Lans then what is the desktop for? Mass storage? Which brings me to this thread: http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=10925

I would build a nice little file server like that and tap into it with that notebook.

This is the future of PC's and farther off even smaller. This is what the mass market wants and demands and this is what CPU manufactures are starting to design for.

Full and mid size ATX/BTX will go away to a new mini form factor. With CPU's to have a GPU built into it (http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33678) and mobo's with all other things built in small form factor will take over and things will get smaller. This pushes the water cooling to a much smaller scale than today or completely out of the picture.

No Jag this has nothing to do with hobbyist vs manufacture. In fact I have a great respect for a couple manufactures around here. It has everything to do, as said over and over again, with the lack of reason to water cool and many of us moving on to more important and fulfilling things.

I personally see no future for water cooling on a mainstream or hobbyist scale for reasons above. So why keep it as a hobby?

Also I see no reason why ProCooling has to be based on water cooling anyway. Cooling is cooling no matter the medium. Why not do some specialized air cooling stuff?
