So...
Any PC Gurus in here? I am hoping to start compiling parts for my first ever build pretty soon. The mobo I want is hardly ever in stock, so that is a hold up...I am also torn on water cooling. Part of me wants it for the "cool" factor (ba-da-ba!), and the other part of me still says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa...we don't mix water and electronics!"
I might overclock and it would be beneficial in that case, but I'm not a fan of the closed system's aesthetics. If I do it, I'll do it right...I've got some pretty sweet plans for the reservoir and backlighting etc.
Does anyone have any experience with building computers? What about watercooling? Any horror stories there? There are definitely some cool things you can do vs a boxed build.
