Corsair Demos Easy Watercooling PC Rig

Steve from Hexus writes "Trying to lure more people into watercooling their PCs, Corsair have created the Nautilus 500. It consists primarily of an external unit housing the radiator, reservoir and pump, which sits atop the PC's case. Installed inside the PC is the CPU water-block, which can be fitted without removing the motherboard. At HEXUS we've got pictures from CES of a system with the cooler installed."

Here in Quebec we always need more heaters in the house, and if those can get some computing power then it's only better.

The VW Beetle was a car reknowned for reliability. One of its key features was its extremely simple mechanical design. It also happened to be air-cooled (I am not sure for the motivation for that design choice but I bet it had something to do with simplicity).

Yes, and nice thing is that the passenger cabin was air-cooled, too.

Meaning, the heater didn't work at all or only in those situation where didn't want the heater to work (+25C).

Thinking about getting this.

When it's peak hours on my web site and I'm playing xlander and gtk-gnutella's connected to a zillion ultra-peers, and some douche is reloading a page every instant with some firefox plugin (basically I'm trying to say the cpu's 0% idle constantly), will this keep my chip cool and calm like the shine on a radiator grill so my box doesn't start beeping with the kernel giving me annoying overheating messages and slowing down the chip's speed in response? That beeping's so annoying and no one in #debian will tell me how to turn off that part of the kernel.
