Off-The-Rack Liquid-Cooled PC Case

    I don't - I want to run a 2 CPU athalon system as a server for my website, and knowing that it's not going to croak like that one on Tom's Hardware is very important to me. I may just have to get one of these.

    The future started in 1998 when the iMacs were relesed with *gasp* no fans, Just a heatsink. Followed shortly thereafter by G4 towers with no fans (except a small one in the power supply). Besides, as someone here already said, the harddrive contributes noise, as well as the CD ROM.

    'sides, I'm still not sure if having liquid running through my PC would be the best thing for it should it be ruptured.

    That (American) case sucks. Well, maybe it cools effectively, but the distinguishing feature of the Korean case is that it uses no fans or motors. Less moving parts and less noise is a good thing. The American one has 3 freaking fans on the top.
