Watercooling or not?

Heyy!
So i have been thinking about this for a while...
As my computer needs are ever growing and i need a new case, i was thinking about going watercooled...
Now would you say i need watercooling for my system specs? *remember, im getting a GeForce GT220 soon*
I can order all the parts i need from eBay, and get them locally i think...

And also, whats the good and the bad about watercooling?

Thanks,
Daniel =)

Pending on how far you want to take water cooling. A realatively inexpensive CPU cooler is the Corsair H50. It fits many different CPU's and is a sealed unit, the radiator bolts through the rear fan as a unit, take a look.

Heyy,
I was thinking about getting a new case, like an upgrade, so yeah, i really like this one; Raidmax Smilodon i would get the extreme black one.. and i was thinking of a do it yourself buy all the parts setup, for my CPU and GPU..

Hello,

I know nothing about watercooling, all I have come to say is that the case you linked to is very nice! Also, I remember my cousin put in some home-made watercooling :eek: and it leaked all over his sound card, killing it! However, don't let this put you off, after all, you are not trying to do this with plumbing parts from B&Q! Anyway, it is your own choice, but don't let me put you off, merely a funny story!

EDIT; Heres the case i mean!! smilodon black
And heres the watercooling kit i was thinking about.. Aragon 900 Water Cooling System <--- looks good, just cant find it anywhere, so im thinking its been discontinued..

Heyy,
Well this sucks, cant buy this; Newegg.com - RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black, in the UK, only US, Canada and China :huh: and its well cheap from there!!
US $74.99 = £48.76 case price,
US $19.99 = £13 shipping,
US $94.98 = £61.76 total
:huh:

Anyone know anywhere i can get it for the same price in the UK?

Well I've looked everywhere I could think of, and also asked someone living over their where they buy their parts from. But no Raidmax.Computer Supplies and PC Components from Novatech However their is a Black and silver Raidmax Smilodon case on the Amazon U.K. Site for 94 pounds $. Spent an hour looking with no luck sorry, maybe need to find a different case anywys here is the Amazon link.Amazon.co.uk: Raidmax Smilodon case I know it's not the exact one and to much money but it's all I could find. Good hunting. Fabe

the h-50 is quite respectable and a good 1/2 kilo lighter than some of the top-end air only coolers. what you may need to do is to tweak the case cooling a bit depending. an extra 120mm on the front of the case blowing in took an extra 12c off the temps for me.

EDIT; im going on about the Corsair H50..

waste of money unless your gonna get into some heavy duty overclocking , ive had some pretty high oc's in my time and never needed it , plenty of good fan h/s combos about

You wont really need watercooling unless overclocking.

SOLVED!

Ill just stick with air and fans. I am going to get the Smilodon exterme black, no matter what it takes.
