Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed
shockNZ writes "[H]ardOCP has reviewed what appears to be a first in PC watercooling - an 'open reservoir evaporative cooling system.' The Globalwin Jefi has a radically different design to most systems on the market. The reservoir is open at the top, and utilizes something akin to a showerhead in order to rain the incoming hot water from the PC down onto a floating heatsink. Perhaps surprisingly, it demonstrated excellent performance and low noise levels - and as a bonus, the reservoir can be used as an aquarium."
Does the temperature of the water go high enuff to poach them??!
See that long UID - that's what you get for lurking too long
And if you overclock, you can make tea with it.
Logic, macros, and more
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that a CPU cooling system that can double as an aquarium is something us serious modders have been waiting for. But how about a mouse pad ant farm? or a monitor that can be a hampster cage?
Yes, I really want fish crap flowing through my PC.
That will give a whole new meaning when someone goes Phising on your computer!

"What happens when this thing fails?"
Same thing that happens when your air cooling fan fails... your processor catches fire (that was a sweet video...)
Up to now there's been no affective way for home aquariums to host the exotic creatures found near deep-sea volcanic vents - until now!

1. install Jefi
2. fill with ice like reccomended
3. watch the pc overheat and burn out
--Oh your 'sposed to put ice AND water in it--
(seriously though just filling with ice wont help as it might be cooler and might cyrogenically freeze your fish but you cant get ice cubes down the pipe and your pc might overheat in the time it takes for enough melting)
If you have nothing useful to say post as AC.
I wanted to do something like this about a year ago, but I was concerned that the temperature would sear the fish so I just ended up getting this:

It's worked out pretty well. One of the fish lost an eyeball, but otherwise I've had satisfactory performance. You can't tell very well from their demo picture but the tails move and they do look fairly realistic. Some folks have actually thought they were real! And better yet, I don't have to worry about rolly poley fish heads or excriment either.

I can imagine being woken up at 2 AM for an emergency outage because someone forgot to water the server.
There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's getting caught where the trouble lies.
Even worse is when the algae combines forces with your computer innards, thereby creating a living supercomputer hellbent on taking over the world!
Man, what am I on today...
