That room looks really nice Greyson!  Do your speakers need some breathing room away from the wall though?

In an ideal situation, probably, but this is what I have room for. If I move them farther out the stereo imaging is messed up unless I move my entire setup back to compensate and I don't really have room for that without things getting cramped.

+1, those were the good old days.  Nothing beats a custom WC setup.  It's way more expensive but the return is worth it.
 
 

Not Really.

Yes, from XtremeSystems, here's the original thread link:

P.S. - Not mine people, just a good example of how custom WC shouldn't be compared to package deals like the Corsair H100.
 
Here's mine, not nearly as impressive as tadzik1231's build:

Nice, and totally agree, custom water cooling is on a whole other level compared to the pre packaged stuff. Then again, I'd be grateful a h100, beats my stock intel cooling... (I feel sorry for my 3570k...)

Yo where did that awesome painting of the samurai go? I can take it off your hands for you if desired.

I have a Core 2 Quad and I'm on stock cooling. I don't really shut down my computer. Every couple months or so it shuts off while I'm gone and I come back and it says over temp error, and I boot into the BIOS and watch the hardware monitor and wait for the temp to drop below 98C.
 
Whew!! I have another cooler but I'm too lazy to put it on because it has a bracket for the back of the mobo and I'd basically have to disassemble my whole computer. (The current Intel one is just push through clips)

Ouch, but considering you have another cooler at your disposal I would probably make the effort to install it. My old HP lappie used to over heat on me all the time, that thing was like a furnace I sware; was the main reason I built a desktop. As long as I'm not doing anything intensive, the stock cooler is just fine to be honest, It's sitting at a solid 32c now so can't complain!

There are some inexpensive coolers with pushpins that work pretty well for stock speed or mild OC:

Hopefully I will eventually.

That good sir would be Bryant Denny Stadium, home of the Alabama Crimson Tide. I live in one of the fraternity houses across the street.
