Hi, I just registered today and wanted to introduce myself. I am 22 and a PC freak since I can walk. I'm from Germany and study in the US for 2-3 Years. Unfortunately, I kind of lost track in the last years due to education, and other interests (i.e. cars ).
I was always fascinated by the liquid cooling technology... so to personally mark my re-entrance in the endless world of computers, I bought a water cooling kit. The Thermaltake BigWater 735, more something for beginners. I read several good reviews about it and it was pretty cheap. I know most people probably rather build their own but I didn't want to start from scratch. :/
I would like to hear some comments about using a water cooled system and your experience.... I'm very happy with it so far... a little annoyed by the humming "noise" of the pump but thats not a biggie.
I also bought a E6600 recently and it runs with 37 C (on load) at a rather slow and silent radiator-fan speed.

As you can see, my tower was a little too small and I had to mount the radiator externally which I will try to avoid in the future...
