Back on topic:

I had a nice little disaster today :*(

I have finally decided to go with the hose barbs on all my fittings to stop these but of course it found a way round it. I hadn't tightened my clamp on the inlet to my nice new maze4 GPU cooler and a steady drip started.

Now I have had the drip drip before but this time I didn't know where it was coming from... it just found the puddle at the bottom of the case when I went away (always in a differnce place). and I could hear air entering the system (i.e. water is leave it somewhere else)

I did notice that the system would act up freeze and sometmes refuse t boot up but I had just upgraded my motherboard and was having a few prob with earnign the BIOS I ignored it.

It wasn't untill I was reinstalling windows and I noticed that windows kept asking for 20 PCI devices (I had 3 out of 5 in??) I realised that somethign was up.

Found the problem in the shaoe of a very damp sound card LAN card and modem. found also the only wet barb. I hope the cards are OK, gonna leave them to dry for about a week. now fixed but it just shows how resillent the PC is to a water attack . - working fine now
