How cool are you?

1. What product/s are you using to cool? Had watercooling (Swiftech Apex Ultra), but gave the Vigor Monsoon II a try, did about the same so good-bye water. (Gave my Zalman 9500CNPS to a buddy when I switched to Intel...)
2. Are you prepred to use some of the other more 'extreme' cooling methods mentioned? If yes which ones. See above.
3. If no, why not? I would say no to phase change and other super-coolers because of the hassle and Hiroshima factors... too much hassle to get it done, and then I'd hate to see it blow up on me. Air-cooling seems to be doing pretty well these days, and the TEC versions are giving watercooling a run for its money.
4. If you are prepared to use extreme cooling a) How much would you spend? b) What do you look for in the product? c) What is stopping you from doing this now? IF I were to do it again, I wouldn't go higher than $500 altogether, and though I'm not big on 'bling' it better look good; gotta be quality components, nothin' cheap; can't be doing up-keep on it all the time, gotta be 'plug n' play'; easy to set up, don't want something that requires a college class in engineering and physics.

The TEC HSF is a grand idea. When someone makes a TEC HSF that incorporates liquid cooling into the size of a large HSF with TEC, someones gonna make a ton of money...

1. Using Water on one comp and air on the other.
2. Proboly not
3. dont want the pc to break.
4. ill but about 1/4 of what the pcs worth into cooling, for sound/keeping temps low and OCage, its a good investment even for future building just get a new block when they come out.
