Maybe this should go under chat, so I'll make it suitably geeky.

I just un-watercooled my gaming rig as it was neither quiet or cool. More on that later. I than wc'd my #2 rig. This uses a Antec phantom 500 (fanless) and has blocks for the cpu (X2 3800) and graphics card (6800GT). The north bridge has a passive heat sink. The Zalman reserator is fanless.

There are literally NO fans at all in this computer. None at all.

What then were my first thoughts on powering it up?

I guess I should have thought that first, I have confidence in my plumbing and parts though. If if blows up you will be the first to hear about it. lol
