Since I've added my new HDD's Ive noticed my system is running a bit warmer...more than I like, so I'm thinking about different cooling solutions. Kinda leaning towards liquid cooling solutions. Been looking at what Swift Tech has to offer and it looks pretty good. Anyone have any other options they think I should consider?

I'd look into ways to cool those drives rather then everything.

Well I could do that but it wouldn't be as cool...and I'm not just talking about the temp, ya know what I mean. I think what I'm going to do is get a piece at a time and do a custom job.

Custom job, as in you're skilled enough to build this stuff yourself or you're going to buy the cooling for each component one at a time?

oh yeah man I just happen to have the machining equipment laying
around the house to build the water blocks...:erm:
Im just going to get a pice at a time. The one thing that I think I will
have to do is get a different case though. The one I have now is to
small.

You know bro I just can't help myself...Im like an addict when it comes to my hobby. It used to be out of necessity back in the day, you know; like when your system can't run the latest games and such. Now it's just something I love doing. I think I might need to seek help. Ah well you cant take it with ya "money that is".
