Integrated Water-Cooled Case

man_ls writes "Tom's Hardware has a review of a new Koolance water-cooled case. It has a built in watercooling system, to save people into overclocking the trouble of building their own. Unfortunately, it only works with Athlon, Duron, and Pentium IIIs. The P4 socket isn't compatible with it. "

    Overclockers are generally performance freaks, so why the hell would one be buying a P4?

  3. What a waste! by Bazman · · Score: 4, Funny

    All that energy should be going into your domestic hot water system. I reckon a machine left on all day could heat up enough water for a shower. But how many overclocking geeks shower daily?

  4. The hype for this is semi-dangerous.. by LordOfYourPants · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've never understood the hype for water-cooled cases, or even fans for that matter. I would be more excited if I heard of a P4 designed for PCs that runs without water, a fan, a heatsink larger than a novel, etc, etc. Cooling is all fun and games until the coolant dies from mechanical failure or otherwise. I'd feel more comfortable knowing that my system will never die from overheating rather than showing off my phat array of 71 fans in my case.
