SuperCricket, I and some other GhettoLanparty members built a crazy computer for QuakeCon. We dealt with many of the issues you were talking about and ended up with an incredably complex, hard to maintain beast of a machine. An airconditonder actively cools a dexcool water solution which is...

I need to take some better pictures...
