My new (very simple) rig:
Note the wallet in the corner, which is now somewhat thinned.

Why's there Lotion and Kleenex on the desk? You must get dry skin and a runny nose during the winter.

Better means works better, not is more complicated for no good reason. If the headphone out on my motherboard sounded better than my amp, I wouldn't use the amp.

But I do mind using the keyboard. I use just my thumb on two buttons on my mouse to accomplish the same thing. It's much quicker and easier that way. Anyway, Apple now has a multiple button mouse for the Mac.

No fliflops don't count as sandals. Flipflops are ghetto. You need those nice expensive leather sandals if you want to be a Mac user.

Where'd you get that headphone case from? I've been looking for one for a while now.

Mr. Vile, I'm just curious why you went from liquid to air?

looking at the pics he was trying to cool both a cpu and a gpu with only a 120mm rad. air probably gives him better temps.
to cool both you need at least a double (240mm) rad and I use a tripple to cool my cpu and gpu

Not quite.
On water, I was still getting ~30°C CPU load temps and ~45°C GPU load temps, even on a single rad. Now that I'm on air, my CPU load temps are closer to 45°C and the GPU runs about 65°C.
Water used to be very helpful when I overclocked, but since I'm done with that (OCing = NO noticeable benefit) I don't have the need for a water system anymore. Air is safer, less hassle to maintain, easier to carry around for lans and stuff, and is actually a bit quieter.
