I don't post much, but I visit often just because the level of intelligence is much higher than other sites. Also, a much stronger DIY, anything is possible attitude.

I compare 'ProCooling' to other sites as 'Scientific American' compares to 'Popular Science', just a better, much higher level of information (Joe's WB review comes to mind). Forum topics usually go much deeper into theory and fine details.

I followed projects like DH3, the Rock, etc. Thanks to you guys I'm building my third watercooled rig, a couple of Swiftech 5000 WB's on a pair of 2.4G Xeons. For my office workstation, no less. I just want quiet!

ProCooling needs to build on it's strengths.

With all that said, here's my input:

1. More electronics and in depth circuit discussion.

2. Look at aircooling in a much deeper way. As brought up in several posts, a quiet aircooling system could be designed with less fans and proper ducting. Something has always bothered me about putting fans low on the front and high on the back to make a huge current through the case, but the heatsink fan has to make the air turn 90 degrees, hit the heatsink, spread out, then exhaust out the back. Can you imagine all the bad eddy currents an regions of dead flow? Think of a car with a radiator mounted horizontal below an opening in the hood, how could you get good flow? This might cause completely different thinking in heatsink design. Crossflow maybe?

3. Look into quiet, efficient water cooling systems. I get questions everyday on how to build a really quiet machine. Small, compact systems that really work. And last the life of the computer (3 yrs?) with little or no maintainence. Maybe not quite here yet, but with a little development it could be possible. Absolute maximum cooling is not always required.

That's my 2 cents!
