Well, I recently started watercooling my system (might as well share some specs for those interested)... It's an Athlon 2200 based system, MSI KT3 Ultra, 512mb Samsung 333Mhz (OC'ed to 342Mhz, not much but I haven't bothered trying), Maxtor 40Gb, Lite-On 52x CDRW, LG 16x DVD-ROM, GF4 Mx440 OC'ed to 340Mhz/405Mhz (with Thermaltake Crystal Orb), two NICs, a sound sensitive CCFL, thats about it. As for the cooling, I'm using a Danger Den Maze3, Eheim 1250 pump and a 1973 Buick heater-ore with 1x120mm fan, in an external pump-enclosing reservoir uder my desk.
Now I've been fighting with major kinks in my tubing (1/2" ID) no matter what I do, and after many, many, MANY tries (and some close calls with regards to rising temps), I found a solution you can all use. I took out some of my sodder coil, clipped off a nice length and wrapped it tight around the tubing - it not only looks cool (well, yeah, kinda), but hold perfectly, is easy to use and won't wear-out like wire-loom... Also you can shape it to allow you to contort the tubing within a radius that you would usually not be able to while keeping it kink-free, and any other form.
Hope this helps a few of you at least.
<b>Well, got DSL back - now I need to split my connection through my comp and switch, stupid new modem doesn't have built-in router... urgh. One good thing though - watercooling!!</b>
