Cool. I'm looking for a massive radiator now to do this whole thing with. Getting this past my wife will be tough ... she's on to me, methinks. I'm telling her I'm looking for good deals on parts for the future ... I think she suspects that tomorrow is part of the future .... I'm probably going to get a new mobo, proc, and ram (prob a KT3U2/1600+/256PC2700 samsung) for her machine early december (by then I'll have a rad ready), and use her old mobo/proc (athlon 700 slot A and an Epox somethin-o'-other) and some spare parts as a linux firewall/DNS server/Proxy/web server (sparing my gaming machine from sudden disk accesses from people pulling HTTP/FTP off of it from my neighborhood intranet when I'm rawkin' on UT2K3).

Once I have her machine upgraded and a radiator in hand, I'm going to sneakily buy some wood and construct a chest-like table with vents in the front and back. Then I'm going to convince her to let me go ahead since the cases, hose, waterblock, and tubing will only be around 150 ... won't it make the room nicer? I'm such a devious bastid it makes me sick.

I'm thinking that the black "stereo component" look won't cut it. I may go with some bling-bling and use chrome paint on the front panels .... They'll go nicely with my tower of green coolant. I'm soooo itching to get this ball on the road ... I can't wait to post pics of the whole thing in progress (not to mention DONE).

Do you guys think there'd be a market for bling-bling WC rackmount systems? I'm sure some other freak out there would want one ....
