THG has a nice article on Water Cooling.

DIY Water Cooling 101

I'm sure Sunny's recent Water-cooling frenzy has all of us interested in knowing more about it :hap2:

P.S: Looks like THG too has Sunny's DangerDen TDX in their article :D

A few years ago, water cooling was considered on the fringe of system building; custom systems usually consisted of hand-made blocks pieced together with spare aquarium parts. Fast forward to 2005, and water cooling has become a very viable, albeit still exotic cooling technique. With the help of companies like Koolance, Danger Den, and Swiftech, the mass production of water cooling components has opened the door for even the most casual enthusiast to get their system wet (so to speak.)

Water cooling doesn't have to be complicated or dangerous - by following our guidelines, not only can you improve the cooling of your system, you can have fun at the same time. Of course, the final attraction to water cooling is that when you take the system to your next LAN party, everyone will be impressed with your slick rig. Unless, of course, a THG editor shows up with a liquid nitrogen cooled system...

THG also have another article with a video.... a simple water cooling system...... it is slightly older than this article though............

Try looking for it through the THG Videos page. They build a water cooling system for the PC and it is really simple.........
 
i have that video ...... actually i have all of them .... anyone seen the video in which they just remove the HSF on running computer ...... scary video .....
 
yeah....... I also have that

I acually like the P4 HT vs non HT P4 video a lot. I also like the LN2 cooling video. And the Athlon 64 video and the "what happens if CPU cooler is removed" video. This video was their first and became a classic.

It is really scary.... but today, AMD are far better when it comes to heat managament....

And while this article (the link to which has been given by Eddy) is good, there is nothing to beat a video to show hot to do it properly. I was of the impression that Water cooling setups are pretty difficult to install and all that. But after reading this article and watching the video, I have totally changed my mind.....

well.....

DangerDen TDX is the very best :clap:

thats why me, funky and another anonymous member ;) opted for it :yahoo:

Actually, the RBX is slightly better..has 1 i/p, 2 o/p config. But the problem is that its too small wrt width..on A64s, u cud even see the metal heatspreader :P

this prob was rectified in the TDX, and comes with only 2 barbs!! which means less pipe mess :D
