heres my idea... id like to buy an older computer, build it, maybe watercool it and overclock it as high as i can... im pretty new to overclocking, not so bad as i dont know what it is, ive just never messed with voltages or fsb speeds and such (which is the reason id like to try it on an older compter)... i wanna spend around 200-300 bux for the entire system, so far im thinking
amd xp 2600 mobile... heard its very good overclocker
motherboard....
1 gb pc3500... willing to change
video card, most likely an nvidia due to the fact that old ATI cards dont overclock... maybe an fx5700 but probably slower...
suggestions for a liquid cooling kit...
is this a good idea or should i just overclock my current computer?... the reason i havnt yet is, well 2 reasons, my current mobo is a chaintech, so no overclocking... i have overclocked my x700pro with ati tool, but havnt pushed it more than 100mhz to the core... it runs under 40C... ALSO another reason i dont overclock is because my 3700 is running at 50C idle... which is think is wrong! ADVISE 
rofl, well some guy stopped and asked me if i wanted it and i said he could take it, besides there was no palce to put it in my tiny ford focus hatchback 
if i had a truck like him id be set for a weeks worth of food!

try using gasoline for total submersion liquid cooling. it works better than motor oil
