Hey prodigy, I'm afraid you don't get the blue peter badge. Although in my defense I've never had a watercooling system leak (well, never a customers build but I had some problems with these new fancy polycarbonate compression fittings on my own liquid cooling system) Suffice to say, I've never burnt out a components from a coolant leak before ;)

hey, lol thats ok, I'm with u the GTX 400 cards r going to blow the 5000 cards away, the only thing that sucks is the power & heat that they produce its unbelievable, that would be a really cool setup

Hey buddy, nah, not gone x58 yet, I needed a reason for it. Really, I can't justify going from quad core to another quad core lol. However, I will be upgrading in the next three months. I think I'm settled on the rampage III mobo with an I7 980X and 12gb ram. I'm also waiting for the gtx480 as this radeon 5850 I got is shit. Sorry, but ati just isn't for me, nVidia all the way ;)

Bournemouth? I know! When your cooling system starts to leak it will look like Bournemouth beach! No huh? Guess I wont get the badge.
