No experience, but wouldn't there be a possible condensation issue with that system?

Probably cheaper and easier to install than water cooling.

I read one review, but the comparisons weren't very well done IMHO.

OOPS! Here's the review.

I use peltiers (thermo electric) what do you wana know, been using TEC cooling for about 5 years so ask away.

hmmm, them reviews dont look to promising for the thermo electric, i might just stick with good old fashioned air, the main concern i had with water cooling was leaking/condensation risks.

You just wanted to show off your rig =P

It looks good btw, do you have a graphics card cooler in the pci?

I think il go with the jet 4, but where does the controller fit, (1 of the 3.5 drive bays?)

lol....not much to show off yet....=P

well i didnt use the controller panel.......the rheostat it came with i belive was designed for a 3.5 bay....but i just stuck it through a hole on the back of my case near the mobo tray....i couldnt justify taking up the entire 3.5 with just one fan thingy.....=P

yes....its the vantec pci fan....not necessarily a graphics card cooler.......but it helps with airflow........i just dont like how the fans LED's dim after time........slightly disappointing

you can find them for about 20 bucks though.....including shipping

ok bout 2 order, 1 thing....emermax psu vs antec truepower

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=5533&GroupID=9

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=6712&GroupID=9

i liked the emermax idea of smartfan, which runs for 2mins after computer is shut doqn, but truepower has its BIG reputation.

they are basically same price so thats not an issue!!
