And did Maingear ever reply back to you as to why it would be on your restore disk in the first place? /edit And what is the risk of a similar virus being on a system John Q. Public buys after seeing a good recommendation from this article? Hopefully it was a one-time thing, but yikes...

http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=10825 Read and enjoy. Turns out there are a hell of a lot of factors beside large and small tubing. It really all depends on what the total system looks like as a whole rather than large or small. -OMP

First of all, you really want to run all the components in SERIES rather than parallel. Run one component right after the other rather than splitting the flow. This way you ensure the pressure and flow is uniform for the enire loop. The heat dissapated will be the same either way, so why not...

Water Wetter used in proper mixtures will give you a clear solution. I would mix 2oz of water wetter per gallon of distilled water. Don't be alarmed if it turns pink...it will turn clear after a while in your loop and give you some corrosion protection. You can get water wetter at autoparts...

mmmmm....sweet delicious spam

I would recommend the Dual Heatercore for a radiator, rather than the dual Black Ice Xtreme Chrome. The performance is better, and its 50$ (!) cheaper. Granted it doesn't look as pimp as a crome radiator, but the performance will be so much better. If you are set on a single radiator, get the...

Haha...not even close. Dangerden is the way to go. In terms of quality, cooling performance, support, price, and upgradeability, Dangerden simply can not be beat compaired to AllinOne out of the box models. The ONLY advantage to getting that coolermaster system (dont get it from frozenCPU...

Assuming im looking at the pic correctly, you installed the pump (either that or the RBX) backwards. The way you have it setup now is pump->GPU->2 OUTLETS on the RBX>radiator->bayres->pump The RBX is made to take the inlet in the center and use the 2 sides as outlets. Keep in mind, the...

Get something directly from Dangerden (www.dangerden.com) rather than FrozenCPU or someplace else. I would look at a TDX block for the CPU over the RBX (better, and less messing around with the extra outlet on the RBX), a Liang (D4) 12v pump (Hydor or Eheim if you want something cheaper), a...

A plumbing store would have high quality stuff that won't leak...that is provided you take the proper precautions such as hoseclamps or sealant etc.... As far as I know, there aren't any "built for computer" watercooling valves, and even if there were, I would still trust sturdy metal plumbing...

The right block by far. Great job with the mesh in the alternate pics, Cathar...that should make the shiny = flat argument, well...fall flat :p Just out of curiosity, what kind of camera did you use for those pics? -OMP

You can mount a radiator pretty much anywhere on a case. All you need is a dremel and some vision. For ease of use and installation, I suggest either the front of the the top.

Check out this wavemaster :p http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=53913 You can put the radiator on top of the case, or you can put it in the front after hacking out some drive mounting bays. Either way requires a bit of modding. I prefer the top because it looks much better, but...

1) Moving your computer around with watercooling is fine, provided you take some care in putting together and leaktesting the system, and transporting carefully. You want to make sure hoseclamps and waterblocks are tight. Also, when you actually go about putting the computer in the car, pack...

Ha! ;)
