Im very interested in getting this Tai-Chi case im not worried about the price or energy costs i just want to know about the performance..

i have never built a water cooled a PC and im a bit lost, so i would like to start with a prebuilt system before i do something wrong and it ends up costing me More.

From what im seeing on this Tai-Chi case compared to other Custom sytems are the diameter of the pipes going to the processor, am i correct in saying that.. the more water the cooler it will run and if so how much cooler?

& something else that im puzzled with is how do you cool the GPU as well
i have seen setups where it is Radiator--->--CPU--->---Gpu--->--Radiator
wouldnt the liquid comming off the Cpu be warm? how optimally would i perform cooling both?

-Thanks

custom systems are just as easy to build as kits... either way you have to assemble them! regarding the gpu cooling quesiton, its just a matter of physics that water has a high specific heat. this means that it can take in lots of energy and change its temperature only a little bit. so the water comming for the cpu is only slightly warmer than the water going in.

suggest for custom parts? read my s ticky
