I don't really understand where the problem is Joe, The site is fine and one of only two that has the type of discussion / topics that interest me. The other as Brad said is OC forums, but recently the more technical stuff seems to have migrated here. The water-block design & construction forum was / is a gem and you really should make more of it imo. Why not have a topic of the week detailed on the main page with pics etc, not just a link, (that wouldn't require much work).

From the feedback I get water-cooling is far from slipping away it's becoming more important for those after EFFECTIVE silent cooling, something air just can't do, and many are getting the urge to dip the toe. It doesn't matter how many people post "I have a silent system with x many SILENT fans" because I for one will never believe it!

Recently I wanted some general feedback on the CPU Splitter block I was making, where on the whole internet did I choose to post it?...........

............ the reasons should be obvious.

Don't try to diversify and dilute what you have here by going in too many other directions, when what you have is something unique. There are so many other superb topics I've linked people to, here are just a few recent ones I can think of:-

Thoughts on water pressure & flow rate

Metallurgist? Copper annealing discussion

P4 direct die water cooling

If as you say the forums are what make the site, then make more of the forums

The only thing I'd like to see is more on is the v modding details as it's an area I'm not good at. I know it's something Xtreme do but their articles are often hard to follow and missing important data.. I'd like to v mod a FX 5800 ultra as I have one effectively cooled but I don't have the info or ability on the electronics side to know the voltage points to mod or test.

To counter those about $500 video cards, I really don't see this being any different than buying a top end CPU as the cost factor is similar, and assuming you have a use for the top end 3D card you are getting more for the money imo. The 3D card usually contains a GPU that's probably as complex to produce and advanced as a CPU, not to mention state of the art expensive ram, PCB and other components..................So it's a bargain then
