Koolance Water Cooling Kit

VL writes "Overall, Koolance has a very impressive kit in the PC3-720 and is definitely worth considering if you're interested in an easy to use water-cooling setup. Performance is very good, and the case aesthetics are top notch in our opinion. Pricing is something we do have a problem with. Aluminum case aside, this is an expensive setup."

Too bad it's ugly..

If I'm going to pay that much I don't even want my computer to look like a computer, let alone an ugly one.

Slashvertisement

Someone should quantify the effects of a quality Slashvertisement like this. How much do these companies rake in?

Overclocking is so '90s stuff .. silence is hard

[Gopal.V]

These days overclocking is no big deal for half the crowd ... CPUs immersed in cooled flourinert has made it passe to even try the basic level.

Eventhough what I really want is a silent cooling system - I was quite spooked when my fans stopped working - perfect silence is disconcerting (Alfred Hitchcock could tell you). I want a silent, zero maintanence PC cooling solution (think about the G4 cube) - I'm sure I could compensate for the silence with some nice trance ..

"Overclocking is easy, silence is hard" :)

Change 'News for nerds. Stuff that matters.'

To 'Ads to nerds. Stuff that sells.'

Is it really worth it?

[MikeyVB]

Maybe it is true that some people over clock their CPU's more for the challenge than to save any money.

Check out the price of the cooler and compare it to the price differences between CPU's (of a comparable class. i.e. - Don't compare an intel to an AMD, nor a P4 to a Celeron) and their clock speed differences (what you would be gaining from using the cooler). You will probably notice that the cost of the cooler is more than your savings on purchasing an inferior CPU and going through the trouble of over clocking it.

Is it really worth it?

Re:RISE AGAINST SLASHVERTISEMENTS

[Lord_Dweomer]

I agree with everything except the bashing of the original advertisers.

As someone in advertising, I will tell you right now the saying "any press is good press" is a crock of shit. If people are GENUINELY pissed off about a company, and voice that, others will take up their cry and not spend money with that company.

I think it is quite telling that as of this posting, about a third of the posts were random posts about cooling, and the rest were bashing the Slashvertisement and the whole slashvertisement problem at slashdot.

Frankly, I'm pissed off that NONE of the admins address this concern of their readers (or most of the other ones). And I'm sure the reason is that people will continue to read slashdot regardles, but it says a lot about the company running it, and if there were a viable alternative, I would seriously consider switching.

And honestly, I don't mind disclosed slashvertisements that much. There have been times when people get stories posted blatantly whoring something of theirs, and they admit it right away and don't hide it, and I have MAJOR respect for those people.

I wish there was a story moderation option that would let people moderate the story as a Slashvertisement, then I could filter them out.

Hmmmm, I thought that's why we had the earth pin on the plug. Or don't you use that in the USA?
