So I am absolutely happy with the wc setup I just pulled off; the res and rad/fan are in another room and things are really quiet...

*EXCEPT*

for that goddamn PSU fan.

so I have two ideas.
One is to watercool it. I have seen it done, but I am not fully convinced that it is the smartest thing to do, considering that 1) if you have just one small leak you're out to fry a whole lotta stuff and 2) you're not cooling all the components, all of which put off alot of heat and need to be cooled.
Two, and the one I am more partial to is to remote that PSU in the next room along with the res/rad. I haven't yet patched up the holes in the wall, so this won't be the most difficult thing. What I am worried about is being able to carry a load for 15 feet with such a low impedance and also the amount of RF interference and other noise that a line like that would produce for other electronic devices (I am running alot of audio devices here, so keeping the RF to a minimum is essential).
Anyone have any knowledge on the subject and possible ways I can keep a high shield on the line? About how long can you make a run like this?
