Yes, I own the largest Akita ever registered with the AKC. His registered name is Harley Von Heineken. He's a pretty big bro. He kept breaking into my fridge and snatching my beer when he was a puppy, guess that's why he got so big.
I think mfpmax summed it up in his statement "I watercool for function...the admiration just happens to be a fortunate side effect". Ain't it the truth. I mod for both form and function.
Do you have to have windows in your rig? No.
Do you want windows so you can see the work you put into the wire routing and interior paint? Yes.
Do you need to swap out the factory LED's with color coordinated ones? No.
Does it drive you crazy if your rig is not color coordinated? Yes.
Form and function. Make the function match the form you envision. Don't make the form match the function. Deep crap, huh?
I think we are all in agreement here that good rigs are also functional, that includes the cooling mods that watercooling affectionado's implement. Joe's closing statement pretty much sums up my feelings, "to me a efficient and well designed system whether it be air, water, or phase change all look damn nice."
Hella nice.
